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 Fairbanks/Fort Wainwright'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.

Ladd AAF Runway Diagram Print
Ladd AAF (FBK) is a one-runway field, and the print draws it that way: runway 07/25, 8,575 ft long and 150 ft wide, on an asphalt and concrete surface at 449 ft of elevation. In the image the runway reads as one long dark bar running left to right across the upper third of the sheet, with the 7 marker at the west end and the 25 marker at the east end. Nothing crosses it. There is no X, no V, no second strip.
What gives the composition its weight is everything around that bar. A pale grid of taxiways runs the full length of the field below the runway, stacked in long parallel lanes and tied together by cross connections, with apron and building shapes filling the lower edge and a band of structures along the top. The dark runway sits as the one high-contrast line in a field of soft grays, so from across a room you read the stripe first and the grid second. The magnetic variation here is 17E, and the near-horizontal set of the runway in the frame gives the piece a calm, level line that hangs well over a desk, a shelf or a doorway.
This is a spare diagram rather than a busy one, which is the point. The identifier FBK, the Fairbanks/Ft Wainwright label, the coordinates and the 449 ft elevation sit in the lower right as quiet type, so the artwork stays legible at small sizes and still holds up large. It pairs naturally with other interior Alaska fields, including the one at Delta Junction, if you are building a wall of them.
Fairbanks/Fort Wainwright (FBK) print, common questions
How many runways does Ladd AAF have?
One. Runway 07/25 is the only runway at the field, and it is the single dark line you see on the print.
How long is the runway at FBK?
Runway 07/25 is 8,575 ft long and 150 ft wide, with an asphalt and concrete surface.
Where is FBK, and what does the code mean?
FBK is the identifier for Ladd AAF at Fairbanks/Fort Wainwright, Alaska, near 64.8376 N, 147.6145 W. The three letters are the airport identifier used in flight planning and charts, and they are the large type on the artwork. The field elevation is 449 ft.
How accurate is the layout on this print?
The runway, taxiways, aprons and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, so runway 07/25 sits at its published orientation and proportion relative to the rest of the field. It is a design piece, not a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what is left out.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
The FBK artwork is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose; the digital option is a file you download.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes. It suits anyone with a connection to Fairbanks or to this field: a pilot, a controller, someone who worked the ramp, or someone who just wants a clean piece of Alaska on the wall. The long single stripe of 07/25 makes it recognizable to anyone who knows the airport.
