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 Gadsden'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.

Northeast Alabama Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Northeast Alabama Regional sits five miles southwest of Gadsden, in Etowah County, and the print gives it one runway: 6/24, 6,802 by 150 feet of asphalt. On the sheet that reads as a single dark strip running low on the left to high on the right, with the 6 threshold marked at the bottom corner and the 24 threshold near the top. Nothing else on the page is that dark, so the eye lands on the runway first and stays there.
Around it, the pale taxiway pavement does the composing. A long ribbon climbs almost straight up through the middle right of the frame, then bends over the top of the runway and comes back down the right edge, closing a tall wedge of empty paper. Apron and hangar blocks cluster to the right of center, and a second, smaller row of hangars hangs below the runway on its own short stub. The field elevation, 569 feet, is set in the caption block with the coordinates and the GAD identifier.
The history under all that geometry is longer than the layout suggests. The airport is owned by the Gadsden Airport Authority and was once Gadsden Municipal Airport; the first airline flights were Southern Airways DC-3s in 1949, and successor Republic pulled its Convair 580s out in 1981. What hangs on the wall is quieter than that: one clean diagonal, a lot of open field, and a caption. It frames well on its own, and if you are building a set of Alabama fields, the Birmingham and Huntsville diagrams sit naturally beside it.
The whole thing is plotted from published airport information and rendered flat, without shading or texture, so the shapes carry the piece in whichever colorway you choose.
Gadsden (GAD) print, common questions
How many runways does GAD have, and how long is the runway?
One runway, 6/24, 6,802 feet long and 150 feet wide, asphalt. It is the single dark bar on the diagram, angled from lower left to upper right.
Where is Northeast Alabama Regional?
Five miles southwest of Gadsden, in Etowah County, Alabama. The coordinates printed in the caption block are 33.9704 N, 86.0913 W.
What is the field elevation?
569 feet. It appears in the caption under the airport identifier, along with the city and state.
What does GAD mean?
GAD is the three letter identifier for Northeast Alabama Regional in Gadsden, Alabama. It is the code set large in the lower right corner of the print, and it is the only code shown.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runway, taxiways, aprons and buildings are plotted from published runway data for the field, with the runway designators placed at their ends. It is a designed piece, not a navigation chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, line weights are chosen for legibility at wall distance, and nothing here should be used for flight.
Does this work as a gift?
It does, especially for someone who trained, based an aircraft, or worked at the field. The diagram is legible without a caption, so it reads as a graphic first and a personal landmark second. It ships made to order in a range of sizes, and free US shipping is included.
