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 Island'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.

Central Nebraska Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Central Nebraska Regional sits about three miles northeast of Grand Island, and its two runways draw a shape that holds a wall well. Runway 17/35 is the long one, 7,002 by 150 feet, and in the print it stands as a straight vertical spine down the left side of the field. Runway 13/31, 6,608 by 100 feet, starts near the top and angles away to the southeast. The two approach ends almost touch up north, then the pavement splays apart into a wide open V, with gray taxiways fanning into the wedge between them and one long taxiway leg cutting across the lower field. Both runways are concrete, so the strips read at the same weight and the contrast comes down to width: 150 feet against 100.
The field was Grand Island Army Airfield before it was a civil airport, and about a dozen military buildings are still there, including several hangars, former warehouses now used for commercial storage, some sheds and the old parachute building. That history shows up in the composition as the dense run of gray blocks along the west apron, set against a lot of empty ground on the other side. The Nebraska National Guard has been on site since 2004, and a Chinook helicopter base opened in 2008. Elevation, 1,847 feet, is set in small type under the identifier in the lower corner, along with the coordinates.
The airline lineage here is long. Frontier Airlines took over service in 1959 on a Denver to Kansas City route that stopped at North Platte, Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha, a chain of towns strung along the Platte River. Allegiant Air began flying from the airport in 2008, American Eagle added Dallas/Fort Worth service in 2011, and a new terminal opened in 2016. None of that appears on the print, of course. What you get is the geometry, plotted from published airport information: one tall black stripe, one long diagonal, and the quiet Nebraska ground between them in the colorway you choose.
Grand Island (GRI) print, common questions
How many runways does Central Nebraska Regional have, and how long are they?
Two, both concrete. Runway 17/35 is the longer at 7,002 by 150 feet. Runway 13/31 is 6,608 by 100 feet. Both are drawn in full on the print.
What does GRI mean, and where is the airport?
GRI is the identifier for Central Nebraska Regional, about three miles northeast of Grand Island in Hall County, Nebraska. Field elevation is 1,847 feet, printed on the sheet under the code.
Why do the runways form a V instead of an X?
Because they never cross. Runway 17/35 runs north to south while 13/31 runs northwest to southeast, and their north ends sit close together at the top of the field, so the two strips open away from each other into a wedge. It is the detail that makes this layout worth hanging.
Is the print accurate to the published layout?
The runway geometry follows published runway data for the field: 17/35 at 7,002 by 150 feet, 13/31 at 6,608 by 100 feet, in their published positions and orientations, with the taxiways and apron structures placed around them. Fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting, signage and the smallest pavement are left out so the shape reads clearly from across a room.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
Each physical piece is made to order in a range of standard wall sizes, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately). The colorway you choose changes the mood, not the layout: the runway geometry, identifier, coordinates and elevation stay the same. Shipping physical prints within the US is free.
Does it work as a gift?
It does, particularly for someone who learned to fly in central Nebraska or a family that has made the drive out to the airport more times than they can count. It reads as graphic design from a distance and only reveals itself as an airport diagram up close.
