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.

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.

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 Lake Charles'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.

Lake Charles Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Lake Charles Regional has two runways, and on this sheet they read as a wide open V rather than a crossing pair. Runway 15/33 is the long one, 6,500 by 150 feet of concrete, dropping from the upper left down toward the lower right of the frame. Runway 05/23 is 5,200 by 100 feet of asphalt, climbing at a shallower angle toward the upper right. Their two nearest thresholds, 5 and 15, sit close together at the left like a hinge, but the strips never meet, and the diagram keeps that small gap open. Both are drawn to scale from published airport information, which is what gives the V its lean.
On a wall, the angle does the work. The pavement sits high and left in the composition, so a wide margin of open paper falls away below and to the right, and the identifier block anchors the bottom corner: LCH, LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA, the coordinates 30.1261 N and 93.2234 W, and ELEV 15 FT. Taxiways, the terminal apron and the scatter of building footprints are rendered in a lighter gray so the two runways stay the darkest shapes on the sheet. The rest of the page is quiet, which is why the print reads as graphic first and technical second.
The field sits in Calcasieu Parish, roughly five nautical miles south of downtown Lake Charles, and the parish owns it. Regional flying has run through here for a long time: in 1958, Eastern Air Lines worked a Convair 340 routing that called at Lake Charles between Beaumont/Port Arthur and Lafayette, and in 1961 Trans Texas Airways was flying nonstop to Houston. A two story terminal with a single concourse, built in the Louisiana plantation style, opened in 2009, and in 2009 American Eagle began twice daily nonstop regional jet service to Dallas/Fort Worth.
It is a working coastal field, not a showpiece. In 2017, 41 of the 93 aircraft based here were helicopters, many of them serving the Gulf petroleum industry, and the grounds cover 1,878 acres at 15 feet above sea level. Hurricane Laura damaged the airport in 2020. None of that weather or wear appears in the diagram, and that is the appeal: the layout is stripped back to two strips, a hinge and a lot of open space.
Lake Charles (LCH) print, common questions
How many runways does Lake Charles Regional have, and how are they drawn?
Two. Runway 15/33 is 6,500 by 150 feet with a concrete surface, and runway 05/23 is 5,200 by 100 feet with an asphalt surface. On the print they angle away from each other in a wide V and do not cross, with the 5 and 15 ends close together at the upper left.
What is the longest runway at LCH?
Runway 15/33 at 6,500 feet, and it is also the wider of the two at 150 feet across. It is the concrete runway, and it is the long diagonal that carries the composition from upper left to lower right.
Where is the airport, and what is its elevation?
It is at 15 feet above sea level in Calcasieu Parish, about five nautical miles south of downtown Lake Charles, Louisiana. The coordinates 30.1261 N and 93.2234 W are printed in the corner block along with the elevation.
What does LCH mean?
LCH is the three letter identifier for Lake Charles Regional, the code you see on bag tags and flight strips for the field. It is set large in the lower right of the sheet, with the city and state underneath.
How closely does the print follow the published layout?
Runway designators, relative lengths, widths and angles follow published airport information for the field, so 15/33 stays longer and wider than 05/23 and the V holds its angle. Fine details are simplified or omitted: taxiway edges are generalized, markings, lighting and signage are left out, and buildings are reduced to blocks. It is made to hang on a wall, not to navigate by.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
It comes in several sizes and finishes, in the colorway you choose, and each one is made to order and ships free within the US. It suits anyone with a Lake Charles connection: a first solo here, years on the ramp, or a standing seat on the Dallas run.
