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.

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 Lubbock'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.

Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Lubbock Preston Smith International has three runways, and the print draws them as three separate strokes that never intersect. Runway 17R/35L, 11,500 by 150 feet of concrete, is the tall line running the full height of the left side. Runway 08/26, 8,003 by 150 feet, also concrete, sits off to the right as a horizontal bar that reaches nearly to the edge of the sheet, stopping short of the long runway instead of crossing it. The third, 17L/35R, is a 2,891 by 74 foot asphalt strip parallel to the big one, tucked below the bar among the aprons and buildings on the right.
What that gives you on a wall is a layout with a lot of air in it. The upper right of the sheet is open ground, the taxiway web bunches along the left half near the terminal aprons, and the eye travels the long line from the 17R label at the top down to 35L at the bottom. Fields whose runways intersect hand you an X to look at. This one hands you a vertical, a horizontal, a short stub and the quiet between them, which is why it reads cleanly at larger sizes and over a console table or a desk.
The field opened in 1937 as South Plains Airport. In 1942 the Army Air Forces took it over as South Plains Army Airfield for glider pilot training, and military use ended in 1947, when it went back to local government for civil use. The current airline terminal opened around 1976, and the airport was renamed in 2004 for Preston E. Smith, a former Texas governor and Texas Tech University alumnus. None of that history is printed on the sheet, which is part of the appeal: you get the field as published at 3,282 feet above sea level, and the rest sits behind it.
The LBB code, city and state, coordinates and elevation sit in the lower corner. It hangs well next to other high plains fields, so if you are building a wall of them, Amarillo up the highway or Clovis across the state line make natural companions.
Lubbock (LBB) print, common questions
How many runways does LBB have, and how long is the longest?
Three. The longest is 17R/35L at 11,500 by 150 feet, concrete. Runway 08/26 is 8,003 by 150 feet, also concrete, and 17L/35R is 2,891 by 74 feet, asphalt. All three appear on the print.
How high is the airport?
The field elevation is 3,282 feet, and that number is printed in the lower corner of the sheet with the coordinates, 33.6637 N and 101.8206 W.
Where is LBB, and what does the code stand for?
LBB is the identifier for Lubbock Preston Smith International, five miles north of Lubbock in Lubbock County, Texas. The three letter code, not the four letter one, is what the print carries.
How closely does the print follow the published layout?
Runway positions, lengths, widths and orientations are plotted from published runway data for cycle 2608, effective 2026-07-09, so 17R/35L, 08/26 and 17L/35R sit where that record puts them. It is a print and not a navigation chart: fine details such as markings, lighting, signage and minor pavement edges are simplified or omitted.
What sizes are available?
The diagram is offered in a range of standard portrait sizes, and the colorway you choose sets the background tone and how hard the runway lines read against it. Larger sizes suit this field well, since the open upper right of the composition needs room to breathe.
Does it work as a gift?
Yes, especially for someone who learned to fly out of Lubbock, worked on the field, or just spent years flying in and out of it. The layout is specific enough that they will recognize it before they read the code.
