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 Modesto'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.

Modesto City-County-Harry Sham Field Runway Diagram Print
MOD draws as two parallel runways on the same heading, one stacked above the other, running as a single long diagonal across the sheet. The main strip, 10L/28R, is 5,904 feet by 150 feet of asphalt. Its shorter partner, 10R/28L, measures 3,464 feet by 100 feet. The field sits at 99 feet of elevation, low Central Valley ground. Everything built up (apron, hangar rows, terminal blocks) is massed toward the northwest end, so the composition has weight at one corner and clean open pavement running away from it.
Modesto opened in 1918 as the nation's first municipally owned airport and moved to this site in 1929. It began with a single runway, and the second arrived in the 1950s, which is the two line arrangement you are looking at. During World War II the field served as an auxiliary training airfield for Stockton Army Airfield. The Harry Sham Field part of the name came in 1974, honoring the airport manager who served from 1949 to 1968.
As wall art it is a study in restraint. Two dark parallel bars, four threshold numbers, and a gray tangle of taxiways and buildings pushed to one side. Small fields can go flat on paper, but the offset here (the short runway sitting up and left of the long one, both angled corner to corner) gives the frame real movement. Plotted from published airport information for the current chart cycle, with the identifier, city, coordinates and elevation set quietly in the lower right. The colorway you choose sets the mood, from bright and graphic to low and dim for a hallway.
Modesto (MOD) print, common questions
How many runways does MOD have?
Two, and they are parallel. 10L/28R is the long one and 10R/28L is the short one, both asphalt, both on the same heading. That parallel pair is what the print shows.
How long is the longest runway at Modesto City-County-Harry Sham Field?
5,904 feet, at 150 feet wide. The second runway, 10R/28L, is 3,464 feet by 100 feet. Both surfaces are asphalt.
Where is MOD, and what does the code stand for?
MOD is the identifier for Modesto City-County-Harry Sham Field in Modesto, California. The field is two miles southeast of Modesto in Stanislaus County, and the print carries the coordinates and the MOD code in the caption block.
What is the field elevation at MOD?
99 feet. It is printed under the coordinates in the lower right of the print, valley floor low.
How accurate is the layout compared with the real airport?
The runways, taxiways and ramp areas are plotted from published airport information for the current chart cycle, so the parallel pair and their proportions follow that data. This is a print and not a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted for legibility at print size.
Does this work as a gift for a pilot who flew out of Modesto?
It tends to. Anyone who trained or based here reads 10L/28R and 28L instantly, and the layout is specific enough to Modesto that it is recognized rather than guessed at. Several sizes and finishes are offered, each made to order.
