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.

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.

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 Bridgeport'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.

Bridgeport/Sikorsky Airport Runway Diagram Print
Bridgeport/Sikorsky reads as an X. Two runways cross near the eastern side of the field, and the print holds them dark against a quiet ground so the intersection is the first thing the eye lands on. Runway 11/29 is the longer of the pair at 4759 feet by 150 feet, running the wide way across the sheet. Runway 06/24 cuts from the lower left up to the upper right at 4677 feet by 100 feet. Both are asphalt.
What makes this one work on a wall is how evenly matched the two strips are. Neither runway overpowers the other, so the composition balances on the crossing point rather than on a single dominant line. Around it, the taxiways, apron and building footprints sit back in a softer tone, a loose grey field that gives the two black bars something to push against. Each runway end carries its number at the tip, which is the detail people lean in for once the shape has done its work from across the room. Runway numbers come from magnetic headings, and the published variation here is 13W.
The caption block under the identifier carries the coordinates and an elevation of 9 feet, close enough to sea level that the number does some quiet storytelling on its own. It is a compact field, drawn honestly at that size rather than padded out. If you are assembling a run of southwestern Connecticut and nearby fields, New Haven and Oxford hang well beside it, and the shared drawing style keeps a group looking deliberate instead of collected at random.
Bridgeport (BDR) print, common questions
How many runways does Bridgeport/Sikorsky have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 11/29 is 4759 feet long and 150 feet wide, and runway 06/24 is 4677 feet long and 100 feet wide. Both surfaces are asphalt, and they cross rather than run parallel, which is what gives the print its X.
What does BDR mean, and where is the airport?
BDR is the three letter identifier for Bridgeport/Sikorsky, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In the four letter ICAO system the same field is KBDR. The print uses BDR, the code most people recognize.
How high is the field?
Nine feet. That elevation is printed under the coordinates in the caption block, along with 41.1635 degrees north and 73.1262 degrees west.
How accurate is the layout on this artwork?
The runways, taxiways and apron are plotted from published runway data, so lengths and crossing angles follow the published diagram. This is artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out for legibility at wall scale.
What sizes and finishes does this come in?
Choose from a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose. The Digital Download is a file you print yourself.
Is this a good gift for a pilot or a Connecticut transplant?
It works for anyone with a reason to care about this particular crossing of runways: someone who trained here, flies here, or grew up near Bridgeport. The layout is specific enough to be recognized, and the graphic reads cleanly from across a room for everyone else.
