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.

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 Ankeny'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.

Ankeny Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Ankeny Regional puts two concrete runways on the page, and the print draws them crossing high on the field rather than at the middle. Runway 18/36 is the long one at 5,500 by 100 ft, dropping straight down the sheet from top to bottom. Runway 4/22 is the shorter strip at 4,200 by 75 ft, angled up toward the upper right, and it meets the long runway in the upper third of the diagram. What you get is a lopsided X with one long tail running well below the intersection, a shape with more tension in it than a tidy pair of parallels.
The field sits about a mile southeast of Ankeny in Polk County, Iowa, at an elevation of 910 feet. It opened in 1994 and is owned by the Polk County Aviation Authority. Both runways are concrete, which is why the two strips read as one consistent weight in the drawing instead of one dominant surface and one afterthought.
Everything else is deliberately quieter. Taxiways, the run-up areas and the apron are held in a light gray so the runways stay the only dark marks, and the small stack of hangar rows in the upper left gives the composition a corner of texture to balance that long southern tail. The identifier, city, coordinates and field elevation sit in the lower right, close to the edge. Wide margins mean the drawing keeps its air in a frame, and in the colorway you choose it hangs comfortably next to a Des Moines diagram for anyone who flies both fields.
Ankeny (IKV) print, common questions
How many runways does Ankeny Regional have, and how are they arranged?
Two. Runway 18/36 runs the length of the field and runway 4/22 angles across it, and in the print the two cross in the upper third rather than near the center. Both are concrete.
How long is the longest runway at IKV?
Runway 18/36 is 5,500 by 100 ft, the longest at the airport. The crossing runway, 4/22, is 4,200 by 75 ft.
Where is the airport, and what is the field elevation?
The field elevation is 910 feet. Ankeny Regional lies about a mile southeast of Ankeny, in Polk County, Iowa, and the coordinates printed under the identifier place it precisely.
What does IKV mean?
IKV is the identifier assigned to Ankeny Regional, and it is the code you see set large in the lower corner of the print. It is the same code pilots and flight planners use for the field.
How accurate is the layout on the print?
Runway lengths, widths and angles are plotted from published airport information, so the crossing geometry and the published proportions of the two strips hold up. It is a design piece, not a chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Runway markings, lighting and signage are examples of what is left out.
Does this work as a gift, and what sizes are available?
It lands well with pilots trained at the field, hangar tenants and anyone with a Polk County connection. Several sizes are offered along with a range of finishes, and each is made to order in the colorway you choose.
