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 Tucson'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.

Davis Monthan AFB Runway Diagram Print
Davis Monthan AFB has one runway, 13/31, and the print gives it the whole canvas. The strip measures 13,645 feet long by 200 feet wide in published airport information, and at that length it cuts corner to corner across the sheet as a single dark diagonal, labeled 13 at the upper left end and 31 at the lower right. There is no crossing runway, no V, no X. One line does all the work.
What keeps the composition from feeling empty is everything packed along the northeast side of that line. A wide pale ribbon of apron and taxiway runs the full length of the runway, roughly parallel to it, and it is speckled with dozens of small building and hangar blocks that thin out toward the middle and cluster again at both ends. The result reads as a strong stroke with a busy shoulder, which is why this one frames well large: from across a room you see the diagonal, and up close you start counting the pads.
The header data is plotted from the same published record: field elevation 2704 feet, magnetic variation 9E, coordinates at 32.1664 N and 110.8832 W. The 13/31 designators come straight from the runway's alignment, so the numbers on the print and the angle of the line agree with each other. Arizona collectors often hang a second Sonoran Desert field beside this one, and the same treatment is available for Phoenix and for Safford if you want a set that shares a grid.
Finishes cover Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print and Glossy Metal Print, plus a Digital Download if you would rather print it yourself. The geometry stays identical across the colorway you choose; only the ground tone and the weight of the runway against it change.
Tucson (DMA) print, common questions
How many runways does Davis Monthan AFB have?
One. Runway 13/31 is the only runway at the field, and it appears on the print as a single unbroken diagonal with no intersecting strip.
How long is the runway at DMA?
13,645 feet long and 200 feet wide. That length is what lets the runway span nearly the full diagonal of the sheet instead of sitting as a short bar in the middle.
What is the field elevation, and where is the airport?
Field elevation is 2704 feet. Davis Monthan AFB is in Tucson, Arizona, at roughly 32.1664 N, 110.8832 W, and all four of those values are printed under the identifier.
What does DMA stand for?
DMA is the three letter identifier for Davis Monthan AFB; the four letter form is KDMA. The print carries DMA because that is the code most people recognize on a bag tag or a logbook line.
How accurate is the layout on this print?
The runway, taxiways, aprons and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, so lengths, angles and relative positions follow that record. It is artwork rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
Does this work as a gift?
It suits anyone with a connection to this field or to Tucson. Choose a larger size if the diagonal is going over a sofa or a desk, since the small hangar blocks along the apron reward a closer look. Physical pieces are made to order; the Digital Download is a file you receive.
