Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
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.

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 Mount Vernon'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.

Mount Vernon Airport Runway Diagram Print
Two runways cross near the middle of the field at Mount Vernon, and the print carries that crossing as one long, off-center X. The main strip, 5/23, measures 6,496 by 150 feet on asphalt and runs from the lower left of the sheet to the upper right. The shorter 15/33, 3,146 by 100 feet, cuts the other way. The two dark bars meet left of center, which leaves the right side of the composition to pale taxiway loops, an apron and a cluster of hangar blocks.
The field sits about three miles east of Mount Vernon in Jefferson County and covers 1,100 acres, and it is named for Earl Outland, a longtime airport board member. In 2022 it was a stop on the 45th annual Air Race Classic. Elevation is 480 feet, set in small type under the identifier along with the coordinates.
What makes it work on a wall is the imbalance. The arms of the X are unequal in both length and width, so the eye follows the long diagonal first and picks up the short one second. It hangs well in a set with other regional fields, and a Mount Vernon sheet next to Marion or Belleville gives you three layouts that do not repeat each other. Whatever colorway you choose, the geometry is plotted from published airport information, and the numbers 5, 23, 15 and 33 stay readable from across a room.
Mount Vernon (MVN) print, common questions
How many runways does MVN have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 5/23 is 6,496 by 150 feet and runway 15/33 is 3,146 by 100 feet, both asphalt. They intersect, and that intersection is the X you see on the print.
What is the field elevation at Mount Vernon?
480 feet. It is printed in small type at the lower right of the sheet, under the MVN identifier, next to the coordinates 38.3234 N and 88.8585 W.
Where is MVN?
Mount Vernon, Illinois. The airport is about three miles east of the city, in Jefferson County.
What does MVN mean on the print?
MVN is the three-letter identifier for the Mount Vernon airport, and it is the type set large across the bottom of the print. Runway designators like 5, 23, 15 and 33 come from published runway data for cycle 2609.
How accurate is the layout compared with the published airport diagram?
Runway designators, relative lengths, widths and the crossing angle follow published runway data for cycle 2609. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are not shown.
Does this make a good gift for a pilot?
Yes, especially for someone who trained, based an aircraft or flew freight out of Mount Vernon. Several sizes are offered, each made to order in the colorway you choose, and the two crossing runways read clearly even at the smaller sizes.
