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. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
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.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
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 El Centro'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.

El Centro NAF (Vraciu Field) Runway Diagram Print
NJK draws as a long horizontal strip with a diagonal cutting across it. Runway 08/26 runs 9,503 feet and stretches nearly the full width of the composition, while 12/30 runs 6,825 feet and slices down from the upper left to the lower right, crossing the long runway close to its 12 end. Both are 200 feet wide, so the two strips carry equal visual weight and the crossing point becomes the natural center of gravity on the wall.
The geometry is what makes this one work as artwork. Because the intersection sits off to one side rather than in the middle, the print reads asymmetric: a heavy bar across the top, then a clean angled line falling through the taxiway loops and apron shapes below it. Pale supporting pavement fills the lower right quadrant, which keeps the two inked runways reading as figure against ground rather than as a tangle of lines.
El Centro sits in the Imperial Valley, and the field's elevation tells you immediately where you are: -42 feet, below sea level. That number is set in the caption block under the identifier along with the coordinates, so the print carries its own context without explanation. The nearby field at Imperial and the larger airfield across the state line at Yuma make natural companions if you are grouping more than one desert diagram on the same wall.
El Centro (NJK) print, common questions
How many runways does El Centro NAF (Vraciu Field) have?
Two. Runway 08/26 is the longer at 9,503 feet, and runway 12/30 is 6,825 feet. Both are 200 feet wide with a paved surface, and both appear on the print.
What is the elevation at NJK?
-42 feet, which puts the field below sea level in the Imperial Valley of California. The figure is printed in the caption block beneath the identifier.
What does NJK stand for?
NJK is the identifier for El Centro NAF (Vraciu Field) in El Centro, California. It is the code used on the print itself, set large in the lower right corner.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runway layout is plotted from published airport information, so lengths, widths and the crossing angle between 08/26 and 12/30 follow the published runway data. It is a design composition, not a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes and finishes can I get this in?
Available as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. The physical pieces are made to order; the digital version is a file you download. Colorway choices are shown on the product page.
Does this work as a gift?
It suits anyone with a connection to El Centro or to this field specifically. The long strip and the diagonal make the layout recognizable at a glance to someone who knows it, and the identifier and coordinates do the explaining for everyone else.
