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.

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.

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 Smyrna'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.

Smyrna Airport Runway Diagram Print
Smyrna Airport works two asphalt runways, and this print draws both to scale from published field information. Runway 14/32 is the long one at 8,038 feet by 150 feet, grooved, and carrying a precision instrument landing approach to the 32 end; 01/19 measures 5,546 feet by 100 feet. Their designators stand about 50 degrees apart, so the two strips cross at a narrow angle rather than a square one. Field elevation is 543 feet, and the magnetic variation of 2W sits small in the corner the way a chart carries it.
The proportions here are not what a town of this size would normally build. Until March 1971 the field was Sewart Air Force Base, and 1,700 acres with a main runway past 8,000 feet still reads like the installation it was. Civil operators moved in fast. Capitol International Airways, a supplemental carrier, consolidated its operations and headquarters at Smyrna in 1971 and flew until it shut down on November 25, 1984, and Emery Air Freight ran a package express hub off this ramp between 1979 and 1981.
Military flying never actually left. As of 2026 a Tennessee Army National Guard helicopter unit, Army Aviation Support Facility #1, works from the field with 60 helicopters and 300 full-time personnel, the Guard leases part of the airport for the Grubbs/Kyle Training Center, and there is a single 40 foot square concrete helipad on the property. C-130s of the Tennessee Air National Guard's 118th Airlift Wing trained here until the wing ended C-130 operations in 2012, and C-17s of the 164th Airlift Wing still use it. The civil side is busy on its own terms: 123,375 aircraft operations in the year ending January 2023, 88 percent of them general aviation, on a field twelve nautical miles south of Nashville International. The print sets the traffic aside and keeps the ground plan, the two runways at their published length and width with their designators and the open acreage around them, composed from published airport information and available field depictions onto a ground tone you choose. It holds as a clean graphic mark from across a room and rewards a closer look.
