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 Wilmington'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.

Wilmington Airport Runway Diagram Print
Wilmington Airport works three asphalt runways, and the diagram is built around the rough triangle they make. Runway 09/27 is the longest at 7,275 by 150 feet and runs nearly east to west across the full width of the sheet. Runway 01/19, 7,012 by 150 feet, drops close to vertical down the right side and crosses 09/27 well over toward the 27 end. The short one, 14/32 at 4,602 by 150 feet, cuts from upper left down to lower right, crossing 09/27 near the 9 threshold and then stopping just short of 01/19. Two corners of that triangle close and the third stays open, and the blank ground held inside it does as much work in the composition as the pavement does.
The field opened during World War II under the names Wilmington Airport and Greater Wilmington Airport, and while it was still under construction the United States Army Air Forces took it over as New Castle Army Air Base. Its mission was moving aircraft out to the British and other Allies, and members of the Women Air Service Pilots served there as test and ferry pilots and towed targets for student gunners; a statue at the airport honors them. After the war the property went back to civil authorities with a portion kept for an Air National Guard base. Trans World Airlines ran a large overhaul base for its overseas planes here until 1957, when that work moved to the Kansas City Overhaul Base, and Delaware's first airline flights departed from this field in late 1947 when TWA and American Airlines arrived. The field goes by Wilmington Airport now, and New Castle Airport is a former name.
The airport sits in unincorporated New Castle County, five miles south of Wilmington and about 30 miles from Philadelphia. New Castle County owns it, and in the late 1990s the county leased the field to the Delaware River and Bay Authority on a thirty year lease, after which the authority rehabilitated taxiways and runways and put up new hangars and commercial buildings. On the print that build out reads as the pale mass banked along the west side and the northeast corner: apron edges, taxiway runs and building footprints reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. Field elevation is 80 feet, magnetic variation is 10W, and runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and still rewards standing close.
Wilmington (ILG) print, common questions
How many runways does Wilmington Airport have?
Three, all asphalt. Runway 09/27 is 7,275 by 150 feet, runway 01/19 is 7,012 by 150 feet, and runway 14/32 is 4,602 by 150 feet. On the print they form an open triangle, with 14/32 stopping short of 01/19 rather than crossing it.
What is the longest runway at ILG, and how high is the field?
The longest is 09/27 at 7,275 feet. Field elevation is 80 feet above sea level, which is set in the margin of the print alongside the coordinates.
What does ILG stand for and where is the airport?
ILG is the IATA code for Wilmington Airport, the Delaware field formerly named New Castle Airport. It lies in unincorporated New Castle County, five miles south of Wilmington and roughly 30 miles from Philadelphia, near 39.68 north, 75.61 west.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
The runway designators, lengths, widths and the angles between the three strips come from published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.
What sizes can I get, and does this work as a gift?
Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It reads well for anyone who learned to fly out of New Castle County, works the ramp there, or has a family link to the wartime ferry base.
