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 Hayward'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.

Hayward Executive Airport Runway Diagram Print
Hayward Executive (HWD) reads on the wall as two parallel black strips running on a diagonal, upper left to lower right. The long one is 10R/28L at 5,694 by 150 feet. Tucked alongside it is 10L/28R at 3,108 by 75 feet, which ends well short of the southeast corner, so the pair reads as one long line with a shorter line beside it rather than a symmetrical pattern. Both are asphalt. The taxiways and aprons sit behind them in soft grey, with hangar rows clustered along the north side.
The field was built in 1942 during World War II as an auxiliary to Chico Army Air Field, opening as Hayward Army Air Field, and it later carried the name Hayward Air Terminal. It is a towered airport near the east shore of San Francisco Bay, covering 543 acres at an elevation of 52 feet. A national plan of integrated airport systems for 2023 through 2027 categorized it as a reliever airport, which is the role the diagram shows: a working general aviation field, dense with parking and hangars, not a terminal complex.
As art, the appeal is the diagonal. Two clean parallels crossing a mostly empty sheet give the frame a strong direction and a lot of quiet space, and the grey ramp shapes at the top keep the composition from feeling bare. It hangs well beside prints of other Bay Area fields, Oakland to the north or Palo Alto across the water, since they share the same drawing conventions and the same low, flat coastal geometry. The colorway you choose changes the temperature more than the shape.
Hayward (HWD) print, common questions
How many runways does Hayward Executive have?
Two, and they are parallel. 10R/28L is the long one at 5,694 by 150 feet, and 10L/28R runs beside it at 3,108 by 75 feet. Both surfaces are asphalt, and both appear on the print in black against the grey pavement.
How long is the longest runway at HWD?
5,694 feet, on runway 10R/28L, with a width of 150 feet. That strip is the dominant line in the composition, running corner to corner across the sheet.
Where is the airport, and how high is the field?
Hayward Executive sits in Hayward, California, near the east shore of San Francisco Bay, at an elevation of 52 feet. The coordinates, 37.6589 degrees north and 122.1217 degrees west, are printed under the identifier.
What does the code HWD mean?
HWD is the identifier for Hayward Executive Airport. It is the three letters used on flight plans and charts, and it is set large at the lower right of the print with the city, state, coordinates and field elevation beneath it.
How accurate is the diagram compared to the real airport?
It is composed from published runway data: two parallel asphalt runways on the same diagonal, 10R/28L at 5,694 feet and 10L/28R at 3,108 feet, with the taxiway and apron structure behind them. It is a print before it is a chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted, and things like markings, lighting, signage and small outbuildings are not part of the drawing. Use it for the wall, not for navigation.
Does this work as a gift?
It lands well for a pilot who trains or keeps an aircraft at a Bay Area reliever field, and a national plan of integrated airport systems for 2023 through 2027 categorized Hayward Executive as a reliever airport. It also reads as a plain graphic object, so it suits someone who likes the diagonal geometry without knowing the field. Sizes run from small desk scale up to a large statement piece, and the colorway you choose sets the mood.
