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 Detroit'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.

Coleman A Young Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Coleman A Young Municipal draws as one strip. Runway 15/33 is 5,092 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt, laid on a long northwest to southeast diagonal, and in this print that single line does all the work. It runs from the upper left toward the lower right in solid dark, numbered 15 at the top and 33 near the bottom. Every taxiway, apron and hangar block around it sits back in quiet grey. Nothing crosses it, and nothing competes with it.
The field is six miles northeast of downtown Detroit, in Wayne County, and it is owned by the City of Detroit. It once carried the city's airline traffic: almost all airline flights moved out to Willow Run in 1946, and Southwest Airlines served the field again from 1988 through 1993. In 2003 the airport was named in honor of former mayor Coleman Young. One hangar on the property was built in 1929 to a design by architect Albert Kahn. The diagram carries none of that as text, which is rather the point. You get the geometry on the wall, and the story stays with whoever knows it.
Look below the 33 end and there is more pavement than runway. A second alignment, runway 7/25, is deactivated, so the print holds it in the same grey as the taxiways and lets it read as ground rather than as a strip you could land on. That imbalance is what makes the composition work: weight along the diagonal, a loose scatter of aprons and hangar rows off to the lower right, open paper across the rest of the sheet. Hang it near the general aviation field at Pontiac, or the commercial airport at Toledo, Ohio, and the difference in scale reads at a glance. The corner block stays plain: DET, Detroit, Michigan, the coordinates, and elevation 624 feet.
Detroit (DET) print, common questions
How many runways does DET have, and how long is the runway?
One. Runway 15/33 measures 5,092 feet by 100 feet, with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway drawn in full contrast on the print.
How high is Coleman A Young Municipal?
The field elevation is 624 feet. That figure is printed in the corner block under the coordinates, so the number lives on the artwork itself.
What does DET stand for and where is the airport?
DET is the identifier for Coleman A Young Municipal, six miles northeast of downtown Detroit in Wayne County, Michigan. The airport is owned by the City of Detroit.
How accurate is the layout on this artwork?
Runway 15/33 is plotted from published runway data for charting cycle 2610, at its published length, width and orientation, with the taxiways and aprons in support. This is artwork made for a wall, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and small signage are the usual candidates.
What formats and finishes can I get this in?
Four: Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose, and the digital option is a file. The tall format suits DET well, since the single runway wants the vertical run.
Does this work as a gift?
It does, particularly for someone who learned to fly on the east side of Detroit, keeps an aircraft on the field, or simply grew up under the approach to runway 15. A single clean diagonal is easy to live with, which matters for a gift that hangs in someone else's room.
