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 Hays'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.

Hays Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Hays Regional reads on paper as two black strokes that cross well below center. Runway 16/34 is the long one, 6,501 by 100 feet, running close to north and south down the full height of the sheet. Runway 4/22 is shorter and narrower at 4,501 by 75 feet, and it slants up from the lower left to meet the long strip about two thirds of the way down. Both are concrete. The result is a lopsided X rather than a tidy symmetrical one, and that off-balance crossing is what gives the composition its tension.
The field sits about three miles southeast of Hays, in Ellis County, Kansas, and it is used for general aviation. The current airport opened around 1960, runway 4/22 was built in 2002, and the long 16/34 strip was rebuilt in 2013. In 2021 the airport handled 31,329 aircraft operations. The print carries the elevation in the corner block, 1,999 feet, alongside the city line and the coordinates.
Almost all of the built detail is packed into the top of the frame: the apron, the taxiway loops and a tight grid of hangar rows gathered near the 16 threshold. Below that, the two runways run out into open paper with only a pale parallel taxiway for company, so the eye follows the long line down and lands on the diagonal. It hangs well on its own in a hallway or an office, and it sets up cleanly in a row with other Kansas fields such as Great Bend or Salina when you want a wall of nearby plains airports rather than a single piece.
Hays (HYS) print, common questions
How many runways does Hays Regional have, and does the print show both?
Two, and both are drawn. Runway 16/34 measures 6,501 by 100 feet and runway 4/22 measures 4,501 by 75 feet. In the print they cross low on the sheet, with the shorter diagonal cutting the long north to south strip below its midpoint.
How long is the longest runway at HYS?
6,501 feet, and 100 feet wide. That is runway 16/34, the near vertical line that runs the height of the print. Both runways at the field are concrete.
Where is Hays Regional, and how high is it?
It is about three miles southeast of Hays, in Ellis County, Kansas, at an elevation of 1,999 feet. The coordinates and that elevation are printed in the lower corner under the identifier.
Why does the print say HYS?
HYS is the identifier for Hays Regional, and it is set large in the corner block with the city and state beneath it. The letters do double duty here: they anchor the layout for anyone who knows the field, and they keep the sheet readable as graphic design for anyone who does not.
How accurate is the layout to the published diagram?
The runways, taxiways, apron and building footprints are plotted from published airport information for cycle 2609, effective 2026-08-06, so runway designators, relative lengths and the crossing angle follow that data. It is a print, not a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted, and markings, lighting and signage are not shown.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
Several standard sizes are offered, and the artwork is composed to hold up at each of them, with the long 16/34 line staying crisp even at the smaller end. It is made to order in the colorway you choose. It is an easy gift for a pilot who trained here, someone based in Ellis County, or anyone with a Denver commuter run in their logbook.
