Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US.

Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.

Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Nashua's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Boire Field Runway Diagram Print
Boire Field runs on a single runway, 14/32, 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt. On the print it reads as one long dark diagonal falling from the upper left down to the lower right, the 14 threshold at the top end and 32 at the bottom. Everything else sits below that line: connecting taxiways, apron edges, and dense rows of small hangars packed along the southwest side. Most of the sheet stays open, which is exactly the point. The strip carries the whole composition from across a room.
The field began in 1934, when the city of Nashua bought a small existing airport that had a grass runway and no hangar. In 1943 it was named Boire Field after Ensign Paul Boire, Nashua's first casualty in World War II. The control tower went up in 1972. The runway drawn here is the newer one: in 2012 it was shifted to the northeast and extended to 6,000 feet to take larger corporate jets, the original strip was removed, and many of the taxiways feeding it were rebuilt.
Flight training shaped the place. The New England Aeronautical Institute was founded at the airport in 1965, and the college that grew out of it flew from this field until the program ended in 2010. In 2016 Southern New Hampshire University placed the winning bid for the flight center, tower building and hangar. That is a lot of history on one runway, and the drawing lets it sit quietly: clean diagonal, tight cluster of hangars, name and coordinates set low in the corner. It hangs well beside other New England fields, whether the pilot you are buying for also flies out of Manchester or Boston.
Nashua (ASH) print, common questions
How many runways does Boire Field have?
One. Runway 14/32 is 6,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface, and it is the single dark diagonal you see on the print.
What does ASH mean?
ASH is the three-letter identifier for Boire Field in Nashua, New Hampshire. It is set in large type at the bottom of the print, with the city, state, coordinates and field elevation underneath.
Where is the airport, and how high is it?
It is in Nashua, New Hampshire, at 200 feet above sea level. The coordinates printed on the sheet, 42.7824 degrees north and 71.5141 degrees west, are the same ones used to place the layout.
How accurate is the layout?
It is plotted from published airport information, so the published length, width and orientation of runway 14/32 drive the drawing, along with the taxiway and hangar footprints around it. It is a print rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted for legibility at print size.
What sizes are available?
Several sizes, in the colorway you choose. The composition is the same in each, and because the runway is one long unbroken line it stays readable even at the smaller sizes.
Is this a good gift for a pilot?
It works best for someone with a connection to this specific field: a student who logged hours here, a based owner, a controller, or anyone who has flown the 14/32 approach. Each one is made to order, and shipping within the US is free.
