Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
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 Brookings'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.

Brookings Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Brookings Regional works two asphalt runways, and on this print they cross in a wide X. Runway 12/30 is the long one at 6,000 by 100 feet, a heavy diagonal falling from the upper left toward the lower right. Runway 17/35, 3,600 by 60 feet, runs almost straight up and down and clips the long strip about a third of the way along it. Two strokes, one crossing, a lot of open paper: that is the whole composition.
The quieter layer sits in pale grey. Taxiways loop back along both sides of 12/30, and the apron, hangars and buildings gather in a dense cluster off to the right, well away from the intersection. The field sits at 1,648 feet above sea level and covers 576 acres, and the elevation and coordinates are set in small type under the BKX callout in the lower corner. On a wall the effect is graphic rather than busy: you read the X from across the room, and the taxiway detail only when you walk up to it.
Brookings has had no airline service since 2009, and the field is categorized as a general aviation airport in the national airport systems plan for 2011 through 2015. In 2020 it logged 32,025 aircraft operations, an average of 88 a day, with 64 aircraft based there. In 2012 the city completed a reconstruction project that realigned and lengthened the runways, which is part of why the geometry reads so cleanly here. Watertown is the closest of its eastern South Dakota neighbors at roughly 73 km, with Sioux Falls about 81 km off.
Brookings (BKX) print, common questions
How many runways does Brookings Regional have?
Two. Runway 12/30 and runway 17/35 are both asphalt, and they cross each other, which is what gives the print its X shape.
How long is the longest runway at BKX?
Runway 12/30 is 6,000 by 100 feet, the longer of the pair. Runway 17/35 measures 3,600 by 60 feet.
Where is the airport and how high is it?
Brookings Regional is at Brookings, South Dakota, near 44.3045 degrees north and 96.8189 degrees west, at an elevation of 1,648 feet. The field covers 576 acres.
What does BKX mean?
BKX is the three letter identifier for Brookings Regional Airport, formerly Brookings Municipal Airport. It is the code set large in the lower right of the print, with the city and state beneath it.
How accurate is the layout on the print?
The runway centerlines, designators, taxiway loops and apron shapes are plotted from published runway data for Brookings Regional, so 12/30 and 17/35 sit at their published angles and relative lengths. Fine details may be simplified or omitted so the diagram stays legible at print size. It is wall art, not a navigation document, so do not use it for flight planning.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
The BKX diagram is offered in several print sizes and in the colorway you choose, so it can sit small in a hallway or anchor a larger wall. It is made to order, which makes it an easy gift for a pilot who trained at Brookings, a Brookings County local, or anyone who has watched that crossing pair of runways from the ground.
