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 Concord'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.

Concord-Padgett Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Concord-Padgett Regional Airport works a single runway, so the print is essentially one line: 2/20, 7,402 by 100 feet of asphalt, drawn as a dark strip that climbs from the 2 threshold at the lower left to the 20 threshold at the upper right. Field elevation is 704 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 6W, which is why the strip leans just off vertical instead of sitting square to the frame. A parallel taxiway runs the length of the west side and ties back with short connectors, and the narrow openings they box out give the drawing most of its rhythm. Past the 20 end a thin taxiway stub carries on north and hooks left, the only linework that leaves the main body of the field.
The airport opened on November 18, 1994, city-owned and public-use, about seven nautical miles west of the central business district of Concord in Cabarrus County. It sits inside the Charlotte metropolitan area, and in the national airport system plan covering 2009 through 2013 it was classified as a reliever for Charlotte Douglas International. A larger permanent commercial terminal opened in October 2016. In April 2018 the field was renamed for Scott Padgett, a longtime mayor of Concord, and the naming ceremony was held on November 18, 2019, the airport's 25th anniversary.
Drawn from the airport's published layout, the composition stays deliberately sparse. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, while taxiways, apron edges and the hangar and terminal blocks stacked along the west side near midfield are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. The airport covers 750 acres, and one runway on that much ground leaves a lot of open space, so the piece reads as a single long stroke with a cluster of buildings holding the middle. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order and sized to carry a wall from across a room.
Concord (JQF) print, common questions
How many runways does Concord-Padgett Regional Airport have?
One. Runway 2/20 is 7,402 by 100 feet, asphalt, and it is the only pavement on the print that carries a designator.
What is the longest runway at JQF, and how high is the field?
Runway 2/20 at 7,402 feet is both the longest and the only runway. Field elevation is 704 feet above sea level, set in the margin of the print under the coordinates.
What does JQF stand for and where is the airport?
JQF is the published identifier for Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, about seven nautical miles west of the central business district of Concord in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, at roughly 35.39 north, 80.71 west. IATA assigns this field the separate code USA, which is why the two identifiers do not match here.
When did the airport open, and who is it named for?
It opened on November 18, 1994. In April 2018 it was renamed for Scott Padgett, a longtime mayor of Concord, and the ceremony marking the name was held on November 18, 2019, the airport's 25th anniversary.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
The runway designator, its length and width, and the placement of the parallel taxiway and apron 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 lands well with anyone who learned to fly in Cabarrus County, keeps an aircraft on the west apron, or has spent time on this field.
