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 Beckley'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.

Raleigh County Memorial Airport Runway Diagram Print
The BKW diagram draws as two runways meeting in a tall inverted T. Runway 01/19, 6750 feet long and 150 feet wide, climbs almost the full height of the sheet as one unbroken dark bar. Runway 10/28, 5001 feet by 100 feet, lies low and nearly level across the lower third, and the 01 end of the long runway lands on it rather than passing through. Both surfaces are asphalt, listed in good condition, and both carry their end numbers in small reversed type: 19 at the top, 1 at the junction, 10 and 28 at either side.
That shape is what makes the composition work as artwork. One long vertical, one long horizontal, a single point of contact, and a great deal of open ground. The taxiways, apron and building outlines sit in a lighter grey and gather to the right of the junction, so the weight of the piece falls to one side while the top half stays quiet. Down in the corner, set apart from the pavement, the identifier BKW sits above Beckley, West Virginia, the coordinates and ELEV 2504 FT.
The drawing is composed from published airport information for Raleigh County Memorial, so the runway proportions, the angle between them and the place where they join follow the published layout. It is offered in several colorways, and the one you choose changes the mood without moving a line. The Lewisburg print can hang beside this one.
Beckley (BKW) print, common questions
How many runways does BKW have?
Two. Runway 01/19 measures 6750 feet by 150 feet, and runway 10/28 measures 5001 feet by 100 feet. Both are asphalt, listed in good condition.
How long is the longest runway at Raleigh County Memorial?
6750 feet, which is runway 01/19. It is also the wider of the two at 150 feet, and it is the long vertical bar in the print.
How high is the field?
2504 feet of elevation, printed in the corner block as ELEV 2504 FT along with the coordinates.
What does BKW mean and where is it?
BKW is the identifier for Raleigh County Memorial in Beckley, West Virginia. Its four letter code is KBKW, but the print uses the shorter form BKW.
How accurate is the artwork?
It is plotted from published runway data, so lengths, widths and the angle between the two runways follow the published layout. It is a piece of artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings and lighting fall into that group.
What formats can I get this in, and does it work as a gift?
Four: a fine art print, that same print supplied framed, a glossy metal panel, and a digital download. The three physical versions are produced once you order, while the download is a file you keep. It suits anyone with a connection to Beckley or to the field itself, and the corner block does the explaining for you.
