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. 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 Columbus'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.

Rickenbacker International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Rickenbacker International is a two runway field, and both runways lie parallel on a southwest to northeast diagonal, which is what gives this print its long corner to corner line. 05R/23L is the longer of the pair at 12,103 feet by 200 feet, in asphalt and concrete. 05L/23R runs 11,902 feet by 150 feet, in asphalt. The two are close enough in length that the pair reads as one wide dark band split down the middle, with the approach ends stepped slightly apart where 5R and 5L begin at the bottom of the sheet.
On a wall that diagonal does most of the work. The runway pair runs dark and unbroken toward the upper right corner, while everything else (the taxiway spine, the aprons, the terminal and hangar blocks) gathers along the northwest side as a lighter grey mass. The lower right of the sheet stays open, so the composition leans rather than centers. Field elevation of 744 feet sits with the coordinates in the caption block, small type instead of decoration.
The field opened in 1942 as Lockbourne Army Airfield and was redesignated Rickenbacker in 1974 for Eddie Rickenbacker, the Columbus native and leading American fighter pilot of World War I. Since 2012 it has also carried a growing number of passenger flights, primarily by Allegiant, alongside the cargo work that is its main business. In 2021 the Ohio Aviation Association named it Airport of the Year. Hang it alone, or run it with other Ohio fields: Cleveland and Akron have prints of their own.
Columbus (LCK) print, common questions
How many runways does LCK have, and how long is the longest?
Two. The longer runway is 05R/23L at 12,103 feet by 200 feet, surfaced in asphalt and concrete. The second, 05L/23R, is 11,902 feet by 150 feet in asphalt. Both appear on the print as the parallel dark pair, labeled at their ends.
What is LCK, and where is the airport?
LCK is the identifier for Rickenbacker International. The field sits south of downtown Columbus, near Lockbourne in southern Franklin County, Ohio, and the print carries the code, the city and the coordinates in the lower corner.
How high is the field?
744 feet above sea level. That figure is printed in the caption block under the coordinates, so the elevation stays legible from a few steps back.
Is the print accurate to the published airport layout?
It is plotted from published runway data, so the parallel runway pair, their relative lengths and their diagonal orientation across the sheet follow the published layout. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting, signage and small pavement edges are among the things left out.
What sizes are available?
Several print sizes, each made to order, in the colorway you choose. The long diagonal holds up well at larger sizes, where the gap between the two runways stays readable across a room.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for freight and aviation people with a connection to this field, or for anyone who has watched the pair of runways from the ground here. It reads as a graphic first and a diagram second, so it does not need explaining to hang well.
