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.

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.

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 Grand Forks'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.

Grand Forks International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Grand Forks International Airport carries four runways, and the print draws them to scale from published field information. Runway 17R/35L is the long one at 7,351 feet by 150 feet, the only asphalt strip out there. Runway 09L/27R runs 6,701 feet by 100 feet in concrete, and two shorter concrete runways sit alongside them, 17L/35R at 3,901 by 75 feet and 09R/27L at 3,300 by 60 feet. The designators give away the shape: a north-south pair and an east-west pair, each one a long runway with a narrow parallel beside it, set close to square. Field elevation is 845 feet, with the magnetic variation of 6E noted small in the corner.
Four runways on a field with two passenger gates makes sense once you know who does the flying. The fourth strip, 09R/27L, was added on the southeast side as a parallel east-west runway to absorb general aviation traffic, most of it from the University of North Dakota's Odegard aerospace flight training program based on the field, and the older runway 8/26 was renumbered 09L/27R in October 2008 to make room for it. The volume behind that decision is real: the airport logged 301,694 aircraft operations in the year ending December 2022, an average of 826 a day, and in 2009 its tower ranked 23rd busiest in the country with 346,165 operations.
GFK lies five miles northwest of Grand Forks, in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, out on US Highway 2 in a detached piece of the city limits. The word international in the name comes from customs service for arrivals rather than scheduled foreign flights. The field is also known as Mark Andrews International Airport, after the North Dakota representative and senator, and its passenger building, the Byron L Dorgan Terminal, was dedicated on August 30, 2011, replacing a 1964 terminal that had run out of room.
On the wall it comes down to geometry: four runways at their published lengths and widths, the designators, and the flat open ground between them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions and set on a ground tone you choose. That near-square arrangement gives this print a denser, more graphic layout than most two-runway fields hand you, and it reads as cleanly from across a room as it does up close. For anyone who logged their first hours at Grand Forks, it is a specific thing to put in a frame.
Grand Forks (GFK) print, common questions
How many runways does Grand Forks International Airport have?
Four. Runway 17R/35L at 7,351 feet, 09L/27R at 6,701 feet, 17L/35R at 3,901 feet, and 09R/27L at 3,300 feet. All four are drawn to scale in the print.
How long is the longest runway at GFK?
7,351 feet. That is runway 17R/35L, which is 150 feet wide and the only asphalt runway on the field. The other three are concrete.
What is the field elevation at GFK?
845 feet above sea level, printed small in the corner of the diagram next to the 6E magnetic variation.
Why does an airport this size have four runways?
Flight training. The fourth runway, 09R/27L, was built on the southeast side to take general aviation traffic, most of it from the University of North Dakota's aerospace program based at the field, and runway 8/26 was renumbered 09L/27R in October 2008 to make room for it.
Where is GFK, and why is it called international?
It sits five miles northwest of Grand Forks, in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. The international title reflects customs service for arrivals from Canada and elsewhere, not scheduled foreign departures.
How does the GFK print relate to the airport's layout?
Published airport information and available field depictions guide the GFK composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
