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. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. 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.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
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 Bethel'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.

Bethel Airport Runway Diagram Print
BET reads on the wall as two long parallel runways set on a steep diagonal, with a short gravel strip angled in beside the apron. The long one is 01L/19R at 6400 feet by 150 feet of asphalt, and it anchors the whole composition from the lower left corner of the field to the upper right. Running parallel and offset to the east is 01R/19L, 4000 feet by 75 feet, also asphalt. The third runway, 12/30, is gravel: 1858 feet by 75 feet, laid at a cross angle through the western apron area, where it meets the taxiway network without cutting across either paved runway.
That arrangement is what makes the Bethel diagram worth framing. Two heavy parallel bars carry the eye corner to corner, the taxiway loops and aprons cluster on one side like a spine of connective tissue, and the little gravel strip breaks the rhythm with a single contrary angle. The threshold numbers (1L, 1R, 19L, 19R, 12, 30) sit small and precise against the pavement. Elevation is 129 feet, and the field is plotted at 60.7786 degrees north, 161.8372 degrees west, with magnetic variation of 11E noted in the underlying record. The result is a print with a lot of quiet negative space and one strong directional gesture, which tends to hang well next to a door or in a narrow stretch of hallway.
If you are building a wall of Alaska fields, BET has natural neighbors. Nome sits to the north and King Salmon to the southeast, and both draw very differently, so hung together the set shows how little two airports in the same state have to look alike. Each one is composed from published airport information for that field, in the colorway you choose.
Bethel (BET) print, common questions
How many runways does Bethel have?
Three. Two are parallel asphalt runways, 01L/19R and 01R/19L, and the third is the gravel runway 12/30, set at a cross angle near the apron.
How long is the longest runway at BET?
6400 feet. That is runway 01L/19R, which is 150 feet wide and paved in asphalt. The parallel runway 01R/19L measures 4000 feet by 75 feet, and the gravel runway 12/30 is 1858 feet by 75 feet.
Where is Bethel, and how high is the field?
It is in Bethel, Alaska, at 60.7786 degrees north and 161.8372 degrees west. Field elevation is 129 feet.
What do the codes BET and PABE mean?
BET is the three letter identifier used for this airport, and it is the code printed large on the artwork. PABE is the four letter code used in flight planning systems, and the PA prefix marks it as an Alaska field.
How accurate is the layout on this artwork?
It is plotted from published runway data for the airport, so runway positions, relative lengths, widths and the angles between them follow the published layout. It is composed as artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and minor service roads are the usual omissions.
What formats does the BET print come in, and does it work as a gift?
Four: Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order in the size and colorway you choose, and the digital option is a file. It is an easy gift for anyone tied to Bethel or to flying in western Alaska, since the diagram is recognizable without needing a caption.
