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.

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 Anchorage'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.

Merrill Field Runway Diagram Print
Merrill Field sits at 143 feet of elevation in Anchorage, Alaska, and the published data lists three runways. Two of them carry the print. Runway 08/26 is the long one at 4,000 feet by 100 feet, asphalt, and it runs straight across the upper third of the sheet with its 8 and 26 designators set into the ends of the bar. Runway 17/35 measures 2,640 feet by 75 feet and drops vertically down the left side, its top end meeting the 08 threshold at a right angle. The third strip, 05/23 at 2,000 feet by 60 feet on an asphalt and gravel surface, appears lower and to the right on a diagonal, drawn as a thin outline with a cross at each end rather than a solid bar.
That right angle is what makes the composition work on a wall. Most airport diagrams give you a scatter of angled strips or one lonely line; here you get a clean L, a heavy horizontal caught by a heavy vertical, with the apron and taxiway shapes rendered in a lighter tone so the runways stay the loudest thing in the frame. The taxiway ribbons stack in neat parallel rows under 08/26, the ramp mass spreads through the middle, and the whole field settles into the upper left of the sheet. The open area below it is not filler. It is the room the MRI lettering, the coordinates and the 143 ft elevation line need to read as typography instead of clutter.
The drawing is plotted from published airport information, so the proportions between the 4,000 foot runway and the 2,640 foot one are the ones the data gives, not a design decision. If you fly out of Anchorage, or you learned on a short field and recognize what a 60 foot wide strip looks like against a 100 foot one, that difference is visible from across the room. It also hangs well in a set: the same treatment applied to Palmer up the highway, or to Kenai across the inlet, gives you three very different runway shapes in one visual language.
Anchorage (MRI) print, common questions
How many runways does Merrill Field have, and how long are they?
Three. Runway 08/26 is the longest at 4,000 feet by 100 feet on asphalt, 17/35 is 2,640 feet by 75 feet, and 05/23 is 2,000 feet by 60 feet on an asphalt and gravel surface. All three designators appear on the print, though 05/23 is drawn as an outline with a cross at each end.
Where is Merrill Field, and what does MRI mean?
MRI is the three-letter identifier for Merrill Field in Anchorage, Alaska. The field sits at 61.2135 degrees north, 149.8447 degrees west, at an elevation of 143 feet. The identifier, the city and state, the coordinates and the elevation are all set in the lower right corner of the artwork.
How accurate is the layout on this airport map print?
It is plotted from published runway data (NASR cycle 2610, effective 2026-09-03), so runway lengths, widths and relative positions follow the published figures. This is a designed diagram, not a chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting symbols and small structures are the usual things left out for legibility.
Why does one runway look different from the other two?
Runway 05/23 is rendered as a thin open outline with a cross at each end, while 08/26 and 17/35 are drawn as solid bars. The print follows how each surface is represented in the published airport information rather than filling everything in uniformly.
What formats can I order?
Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. The framed and metal options suit the heavy black runway bars, since the L shape holds its weight at larger sizes. Digital Download is a file rather than a physical piece. The Merrill Field artwork is identical across the colorway you choose.
Is this a good gift for a pilot?
It works best for someone with a specific connection to the field: a pilot who trained on 08/26, a hangar owner, a family that keeps an aircraft in Anchorage. The runway numbers, the 4,000 foot strip and the 143 ft elevation line are the details a recipient checks first, and they are the details the print gets from published data.
