Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
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 Fort Worth'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.

Fort Worth Spinks Airport Runway Diagram Print
Fort Worth Spinks runs two runways and they are parallel, both pointed north and south. 18R/36L is the long one, 6,002 feet by 100 feet on asphalt, and it lands on the sheet as one unbroken bar from top edge to bottom. 18L/36R is the turf runway, 3,660 feet by 60 feet, drawn lighter and set just east of its neighbor, ending well short of it. That gap between a full-length dark strip and a short pale one is the composition, and it is the reason this diagram works hanging vertical.
The field is city-owned and public use, about 14 nautical miles south of the central business district of Fort Worth in Tarrant County, and it is the newest of the three airports owned by the City of Fort Worth. It carries the name of Maurice Hunter Spinks, known as Pappy, an aerobatic competitor, promoter and aviation manufacturer who built the nearby Oak Grove Airport. Portions of Oak Grove now sit inside the Spinks property. Oak Grove closed and Spinks opened in 1989.
The sheet is plotted from published airport information: runway centerlines, the ladder of taxiway loops down the west side, the apron and the tight cluster of hangars up in the northeast corner. Spinks covers 822 acres, small enough that the layout fits the page without crowding and the long vertical runs of pavement keep their air. Elevation is 700 feet, printed at the base with the coordinates and the identifier. Hang it on its own, or put it beside a sheet from Dallas and let two very different pavement plans talk. The linework stays quiet; the colorway you choose sets the temperature.
Fort Worth (FWS) print, common questions
How many runways does Fort Worth Spinks have?
Two. 18R/36L is 6,002 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and 18L/36R is 3,660 feet by 60 feet with a turf surface. Both run north and south, parallel to each other, and the print draws them that way.
How long is the longest runway at FWS, and how high is the field?
The longest runway is 18R/36L at 6,002 feet, 100 feet wide, asphalt. Field elevation is 700 feet above mean sea level, and that number is set into the type block at the bottom of the print.
Where is Fort Worth Spinks?
About 14 nautical miles south of the central business district of Fort Worth, in Tarrant County, Texas. It is city-owned, public use, and the newest of the three airports owned by the City of Fort Worth.
What does the code FWS mean?
FWS is the three-letter location identifier assigned to Fort Worth Spinks Airport. The airport has no designation from the IATA, so FWS is the code you will see on charts and the code set large at the bottom of the sheet.
Is the diagram accurate to the published layout at the real airport?
The runways, taxiways, apron and building footprints are drawn from published airport information for this field, so the shapes and proportions follow the documented layout. It is a print, not a navigation chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted so the composition reads clearly on a wall.
What sizes are available, and does this work as a gift?
The FWS diagram is made to order in a range of standard wall sizes, with the colorway you choose applied to the same linework. US shipping is free. It reads as a gift for anyone who trained, based an aircraft or logged circuits south of Fort Worth, since the runway numbers and the turf strip are legible from across a room.
