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 Dayton'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.

James M Cox Dayton International Airport Runway Diagram Print
James M Cox Dayton International prints as three runways in a layout that is easy to read from across a room: two long parallel strips angled southwest to northeast, plus a near vertical strip that cuts across the shorter of the pair. The long diagonal is 06L/24R at 10,901 by 150 feet on an asphalt and concrete surface. Below and to the right, 06R/24L runs parallel at 7,285 by 150 feet on concrete. The vertical is 18/36, 8,502 by 150 feet, and in the drawing it clips 06R/24L near the 36 end while stopping just short of the longer diagonal. That near miss is the detail that makes the composition interesting: an almost X, held open.
The field sits about 10 miles north of downtown Dayton, in Montgomery County, on ground that is an exclave of the city not contiguous with the rest of it. It opened in 1936, and the runways were widened to 150 feet in 1943. The current name dates to 1976. Freight left its mark on the same geometry the print shows: Emery Worldwide completed an air freight hub sortation facility next to Runway 6L/24R in 1981.
As art, the appeal is the tension between the two long parallels and the one strip that refuses to line up with them. Runway ends carry their designators, the coordinates and the field elevation of 1,009 feet sit under the DAY block, and taxiways and aprons stay in a lighter tone so the runways hold the eye. It is rendered from published airport information rather than styled from imagination, and the colorway you choose decides whether it reads quiet or graphic on the wall. Hung by itself it works as clean geometry. Set beside a Columbus print, it starts an Ohio wall.
Dayton (DAY) print, common questions
How many runways does DAY have?
Three. Published data lists 06L/24R, 18/36 and 06R/24L, and all three appear in the print: two parallel diagonals and one near vertical strip that crosses the shorter diagonal.
How long is the longest runway at Dayton International?
10,901 feet, which is runway 06L/24R at 150 feet wide on an asphalt and concrete surface. The other two are 18/36 at 8,502 feet and 06R/24L at 7,285 feet, each also 150 feet wide.
Where is the airport and what is the field elevation?
The elevation is 1,009 feet, and the field lies about 10 miles north of downtown Dayton, in Montgomery County, Ohio, at 39.9023 N, 84.2194 W. The elevation and coordinates are printed under the identifier.
What does the code DAY mean?
DAY is the three letter identifier for James M Cox Dayton International, the code you see on boarding passes and bag tags for Dayton. It is set in large type at the lower right of the print.
Is the diagram accurate to the published layout?
The runway positions, designators, lengths and relative angles follow published airport information for the field. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Things like pavement markings, lighting and signage are left out so the geometry stays legible at wall size.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
Sizes run from small desk scale up to large statement pieces, printed to order in the colorway you choose. It lands well with anyone connected to Dayton: pilots, controllers, freight and maintenance crews, or someone who simply flew in and out of DAY for years.
