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 Manhattan'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.

Manhattan Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Manhattan Regional Airport runs two runways that cross, and the print is built on that crossing: 03/21 at 7,400 by 150 feet on a southwest to northeast line, and 13/31 at 5,001 by 75 feet cutting northwest to southeast. Field elevation is 1,066 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 4E. The two strips meet well off center, and they are cut at different points: on 03/21 the crossing falls about two thirds of the way along from the 3 end, and on 13/31 it falls about seven tenths of the way along from the 13 end. That puts the X high and to the right in the frame, near the 21 and 31 ends, with a long uninterrupted run of the main runway trailing back to the southwest. Taxiway and apron geometry gathers along the southeast side of the long runway, and the ramp and hangar rows sit in the wedge just east of the crossing.
Construction began on June 13, 1939 with temporary grass runways, and the field was dedicated in November 1940. The first terminal, then called Manhattan Municipal Airport, opened on April 19, 1953, with a speech by U.S. Senator Frank Carlson, timed to the start of Continental Airlines DC-3 flights. Manhattan was one stop on a Denver to Kansas City run that touched ten smaller cities across Colorado and Kansas. Continental pulled out in 1961 and Central Airlines took the route over. The long runway that anchors this drawing was laid in concrete in 1963, and its southwest end was lengthened and the strip widened in 1979 so Frontier Airlines could bring Boeing 737s in.
Capitol Air Service was headquartered at the field from the 1960s until it stopped flying in 1989, running point to point service around northeastern Kansas to Salina, Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City. The airport sits about five miles southwest of downtown Manhattan in Riley County, four miles east of Fort Riley and eight miles southwest of the Kansas State University athletic complex. American Eagle began nonstop flights to Dallas/Fort Worth in 2009 and added Chicago O'Hare in 2010, and boardings climbed from 16,489 in 2008 to more than 69,000 by 2012, with a record 83,220 people boarding here in 2025. The terminal that serves them opened in two phases between 2015 and 2016, with two gates and three jet bridge positions.
As art, the field is left to speak plainly. Runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry, and the ground tone you choose carries everything behind the linework. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions rather than a navigation document, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and still holds together up close.
Manhattan (MHK) print, common questions
How many runways does Manhattan Regional Airport have?
Two, and they cross. Runway 03/21 is 7,400 by 150 feet and runway 13/31 is 5,001 by 75 feet. On the print they read as one long X, with the crossing set off center toward the northeast end of the field.
What is the longest runway at MHK, and how high is the field?
The longest is 03/21 at 7,400 feet. Field elevation is 1,066 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin under the coordinates.
What does MHK stand for and where is the airport?
MHK is the IATA code for Manhattan Regional Airport, about five miles southwest of downtown Manhattan in Riley County, Kansas, at roughly 39.14 north, 96.67 west, four miles east of Fort Riley.
How old is the airport?
Construction started on June 13, 1939 with temporary grass runways, and the field was dedicated in November 1940. The first terminal opened on April 19, 1953, and the concrete of the long runway dates to 1963.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
Runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two runways follow published figures 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 the Flint Hills, flew a team charter in and out of here, or spent four years at Kansas State.
