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 Independence'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.

Independence Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Independence Municipal (IDP) is a two-runway field in southeast Kansas at 825 feet of elevation, and the print draws both strips. Runway 17/35 runs almost straight down the sheet at 5,501 by 100 feet, the spine that everything else hangs off. Runway 04/22 is the shorter one, 3,402 by 60 feet, cutting in on a diagonal from the lower left with its 22 end stopping just short of the long strip instead of crossing it. On a wall that reads as an open wedge: two clean lines meeting at a point they never quite reach, with the apron, taxiway loops and hangar blocks massed in a grey band down the right side. A national airport plan for 2011 through 2015 categorized the field a general aviation facility.
The field began as Independence Army Airfield. Pilot training for the Second Air Force ran from 1942 through 1945, and after the war the site held excess equipment and supplies. The airfield was closed by the Air Force in 1947 and ownership passed to the City of Independence for use as a municipal airport. In 2008 tower operations commenced, with the first takeoff clearance given to a newly built Cessna 172R. That inheritance is part of why the diagram carries more width and apron than a small-town field usually does.
As art, the appeal here is restraint. There is no braid of parallel runways to decode, just a long vertical, a diagonal, and a lot of quiet paper around them, which is why the composition holds up at a distance and rewards a closer look at the taxiway stubs and building outlines. Hung next to prints for Tulsa or Joplin, IDP is the spare one in the row, and it works well in a hallway or above a desk where a busier diagram would fight the room. The identifier, city, coordinates and field elevation sit in the lower corner in the colorway you choose.
Independence (IDP) print, common questions
How many runways does Independence Municipal have?
Two. Runway 17/35 measures 5,501 by 100 feet and runway 04/22 measures 3,402 by 60 feet, both asphalt. Both appear on the print.
How long is the longest runway at IDP, and how high is the field?
The longest is 17/35 at 5,501 feet. Field elevation is 825 feet, and that figure is printed under the city line on the print.
What does IDP stand for and where is the airport?
IDP is the identifier for Independence Municipal, which sits six miles southwest of Independence, in Montgomery County, Kansas.
What sizes can I get?
The diagram is composed to scale cleanly across the standard print sizes we offer, in the colorway you choose. Line weights are set per size so the 60 foot wide 04/22 stays legible against the wider 17/35 even on the smaller prints.
Is the layout accurate to the published airport diagram?
The runway designators, relative lengths, widths and the angle between 17/35 and 04/22 are plotted from published airport information for IDP. Fine details may be simplified or omitted: markings, lighting, signage and smaller structures are not all shown. It is a print made for a wall, not a navigation document.
Does this work as a gift?
It suits anyone with a tie to Independence or to the field itself: student pilots, based owners, people who learned to fly off 17/35, or someone who just likes a graphic with a real place behind it. Prints are made to order and ship free in the US.
