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 Biloxi'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.

Keesler AFB Runway Diagram Print
Keesler AFB (BIX) is a one runway field, and the print is built around that single strip. Runway 04/22 measures 7,630 feet long by 150 feet wide, with a published surface code of PEM, and it runs the full height of the composition as one uninterrupted diagonal from the 04 threshold at lower left up to 22 at upper right. Field elevation is 33 feet, which is about as close to sea level as a coastal airport gets, and the coordinates printed under the identifier are 30.4104 N, 88.9244 W. Published magnetic variation here is 2W.
What makes the layout work as a wall piece is the contrast between that one hard line and everything gathered beside it. The runway is drawn as a solid dark bar, corner to corner. To its northeast side, the taxiways and apron spread out in a paler tone, with one taxiway crossing the runway centerline low in the frame and a long parallel spine running up toward the 22 end. Building footprints sit a shade darker again, stacked in a loose column along the ramp. Three weights of gray, one strong angle, and a lot of open paper: the eye follows the runway first and finds the rest on the second look.
A small field earns a quiet print. There is no second runway to argue with the first here, no X and no V, so the geometry stays legible from across a room and still rewards a close read of the threshold numbers. It hangs well next to other Mississippi Gulf Coast fields if you want a set, whether that is Gulfport a short drive west or Pascagoula on the other side of the bay. The layout is plotted from published airport information, and the identifier, city, coordinates and elevation are set in the lower corner in the colorway you choose.
Biloxi (BIX) print, common questions
How many runways does Keesler AFB have?
One. Runway 04/22 is the only runway in the published data, and the print shows it as a single diagonal strip with the taxiways and apron alongside.
How long is the runway at BIX?
7,630 feet long and 150 feet wide. The published surface code is PEM. That single measurement drives the proportions of the whole composition.
Where is BIX and what is the code?
BIX is the identifier for Keesler AFB at Biloxi, Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast at 30.4104 N, 88.9244 W. Field elevation is 33 feet, and published magnetic variation is 2W.
How accurate is the artwork?
Runway and taxiway geometry is plotted from published airport data, so the angle, the relative length and the position of 04/22 against the apron all follow the source. It is a design piece rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
Choose Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print, each made to order in a range of sizes, or take the Digital Download as a file. Larger sizes give the apron detail and the threshold numbers more room to breathe.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for anyone with a Biloxi connection: trained there, stationed there, or just grew up under the approach. The identifier and coordinates in the corner make it read as a specific place rather than generic aviation decor.
