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 Minot'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.

Minot AFB Runway Diagram Print
Minot AFB is a one runway field, and that runway is long: 13,198 feet by 300 feet, designated 12/30, surfaced in asphalt and concrete. In the print it runs as a single unbroken diagonal, entering from the upper left with the 12 threshold and leaving toward the lower right at 30. There is no crossing strip, no V, no second angle competing for attention. What you get on the wall is one bold line and a lot of quiet paper around it.
The supporting geometry is what makes the composition work. A taxiway shadows the runway along its northeast side for nearly the full run, closing into a loop at the far end near 12. Midway down, the apron opens into a wide rectangle with small building blocks clustered off its edge, and past the 30 end a short spur drops south to an isolated pad set apart from everything else. Those shapes sit lighter than the runway itself, so the eye lands on the strip first and then wanders into the detail.
The field sits at 1,666 feet of elevation near 48.4158 degrees north, 101.3580 degrees west, with a published magnetic variation of 7 degrees east, which is why a runway numbered 12/30 leans the way it does on the page. The identifier and the city line are set in the lower right, so the diagram keeps the top of the sheet to itself. Hung alone it reads as a minimalist line study; hung in a row with other North Dakota airport map prints, from Bismarck to Williston, the single long diagonal is the one that stands out.
Whichever colorway you choose, the drawing stays the same: runway, taxiway, apron, plotted from published airport information for Minot AFB.
Minot (MIB) print, common questions
How many runways does Minot AFB have?
One. Runway 12/30 is the only runway at the field, and it is the single diagonal you see in the print. Its surface is listed as asphalt and concrete.
How long is the runway at MIB?
13,198 feet long and 300 feet wide. That length is why the strip dominates the composition: it stretches most of the way across the sheet with very little else beside it.
Where is Minot AFB and how high is it?
It is in Minot, North Dakota, at an elevation of 1,666 feet. The coordinates printed on the artwork are 48.4158 degrees north, 101.3580 degrees west.
What does MIB mean?
MIB is the identifier for Minot AFB, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the artwork. The four letter ICAO form of the same field is KMIB.
How accurate is this airport map print?
The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, so proportions and orientation follow the published layout. It is a piece of artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, markings and signage are examples of what gets left out.
Does this work as a gift?
It does, particularly for someone with a connection to Minot or to the airframes that use a 13,198 foot runway. Physical pieces are made to order as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print or a Glossy Metal Print, and a Digital Download is available if you would rather handle the framing yourself.
