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 Brainerd'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.

Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Brainerd Lakes Regional works two concrete runways that cross each other: 16/34 at 7,100 by 150 feet, and 5/23 at 6,512 by 150 feet. On the sheet they read as a lopsided X. The crossing point sits well off center, up near the ends labeled 34 and 23, so one dark limb climbs almost straight to the top of the print while the other sweeps down and away to the lower left. That asymmetry is what makes the layout worth hanging. A tidy centered cross would look designed. This one looks like a field that grew.
The airport sits about three nautical miles northeast of downtown Brainerd, in Crow Wing County, and is owned by the city and county together. It spreads across 2,597 acres, which is why the diagram has so much open margin around the ink. In 2018 the field handled 22,233 passenger boardings. Hung as a set, it holds its own beside a busier Minnesota sheet from St Cloud or the sprawl of Minneapolis, because the shape here is legible from across the room instead of dense up close.
The two runways carry the darkest ink. Taxiways and aprons step back in a lighter tone, including the long parallel taxiway that shadows 16/34 down its west side, and the hangar rows and terminal apron gather low on the sheet below the 5 threshold. The runway geometry is drawn to scale from published airport information, with the identifier, coordinates and the 1,232 foot elevation set quietly in the corner. Fine details on the ground are simplified so the crossed runways stay the thing you see first.
Brainerd (BRD) print, common questions
How many runways does Brainerd Lakes Regional have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 16/34 is 7,100 by 150 feet and runway 5/23 is 6,512 by 150 feet. Both are concrete, and both appear on the print in the darkest ink.
Where is BRD?
Brainerd, Minnesota, in Crow Wing County, about three nautical miles northeast of the downtown business district. The field elevation is 1,232 feet, and that number is printed under the city line.
What does BRD mean on the print?
BRD is the three letter identifier for Brainerd Lakes Regional. It is set large in the corner of the sheet, with the city, state, coordinates and elevation stacked beneath it.
How closely does the diagram follow the published layout?
The runway geometry, relative lengths and crossing angle come from published airport information for this field. It is a design print, not a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted entirely: small service roads, individual markings and minor pavement edges are left off so the two runways read clearly at wall distance.
What sizes are available?
Several print sizes are offered, from desk scale up to a statement piece, each in the colorway you choose. Larger sizes let the taxiway detail and hangar rows below the 5 threshold stay readable.
Does this make a good gift for a Brainerd pilot?
Yes. Anyone who has flown circuits over the lakes country recognizes that off center X the moment they see it. Prints are made to order and ship free within the US.
