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 Ketchikan'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.

Ketchikan International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Ketchikan International Airport draws as a single line. Runway 11/29, 7,500 by 150 feet of asphalt, runs corner to corner across the sheet from northwest to southeast, with a parallel taxiway looping off its northwest end and the terminal and apron set against its northeast side about halfway along. Published airport information also lists a water runway, WNW/ESE, 9,500 feet long, for seaplanes working the Tongass Narrows; a water lane leaves no pavement to plot, so the print stays one strong diagonal with nothing to compete with it. Field elevation is 92 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 21E, a large enough offset that the plotted headings sit well off true north.
The airport is on Gravina Island, just west of Ketchikan across the Tongass Narrows, and there is no road to it. Passengers ride a seven minute ferry, with two departures an hour in each direction, and neither Ketchikan nor Revillagigedo Island has any land connection to the mainland. A bridge to replace the ferry was designed and then defunded when Congress reversed its decision in 2007. Before this field existed, longer range flights to Ketchikan used an old military airfield on Annette Island about 20 air miles south, with Grumman Goose and Consolidated PBY Catalina amphibians linking that airport to the Ketchikan Harbor Seaplane Base.
The airport opened on August 4, 1973, and Alaska Airlines flew the first jet service in from Seattle that same day with a Boeing 720. Taxiway Bravo was added in 2004 so aircraft could reach the end of runway 11, which sits above the apron on the hillside and needs long, gently sloped taxiways at either end; that slope is why the taxiway shapes on the drawing run so far and bend so gradually. In 2023 the airport handled 148,645 passenger boardings. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiway and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose, and the result is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order.
Ketchikan (KTN) print, common questions
How many runways does Ketchikan International Airport have?
One paved runway, 11/29, at 7,500 by 150 feet, plus a water runway for seaplanes designated WNW/ESE and listed at 9,500 feet. The print shows the paved strip, because a water lane has no edges to draw.
How high is the field at KTN, and how long is the pavement?
Field elevation is 92 feet above sea level, printed in the margin. The asphalt runway 11/29 is 7,500 feet long, and the listed water runway is 9,500 feet.
What does KTN stand for and where is the airport?
KTN is the IATA code for Ketchikan International Airport, on Gravina Island one nautical mile west of downtown Ketchikan across the Tongass Narrows, at roughly 55.35 north, 131.71 west. There is no road to it; a ferry makes the crossing in about seven minutes.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
Runway designators, lengths and widths follow published airport information for the field, and the taxiway and apron shapes come from available field depictions. 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?
Several sizes and finishes, made to order, on a ground tone you choose at checkout. It reads well for anyone who has taken the ferry to catch a flight, flown floatplanes out of the Narrows, or worked a season in southeast Alaska.
