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.

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 Virginia Beach'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.

Oceana NAS (Apollo Soucek Field) Runway Diagram Print
NTU is a four runway field, and the print draws all four as two closely spaced parallel pairs that cross each other. The long pair runs southwest to northeast: 05R/23L at 12001 feet by 200 feet, with 05L/23R sitting just beside it at 8000 feet by 150 feet. The second pair runs northwest to southeast, 14L/32R at 8001 feet by 150 feet and 14R/32L at 8000 feet by 200 feet. All four carry the same surface code in the published record, PEM-G, and the field elevation is 22 feet.
On the wall that geometry reads as one bold X with doubled strokes. The two pairs meet high in the frame, well above center, so the crossing sits in the upper third and the long 05R/23L stroke carries the eye all the way down to the lower left corner, where the 5R threshold label anchors the composition. Below the intersection the taxiways, aprons and building footprints fill in as a lighter gray mass, wide at the middle of the sheet and thinning out along the runway edges. The runways are solid and dark, everything else recedes, and the contrast between the two weights is what makes the layout legible from across a room. The field is flat at 22 feet, so the drawing is pure plan view: no terrain, just the shape of the pavement and how it was plotted from published airport information.
The footer keeps the identifier NTU, the city line for Virginia Beach, Virginia, the coordinates and the elevation, set small and quiet so the runways stay the subject. Depending on the colorway you choose the pavement can read as ink on paper or as light lines against a dark ground, but the crossed pairs hold their shape either way. Fields this close together often get hung as a set, and Norfolk is near enough that the two diagrams sit naturally side by side.
Virginia Beach (NTU) print, common questions
How many runways does NTU have, and how long are they?
Four. 05R/23L is 12001 feet by 200 feet, 14L/32R is 8001 feet by 150 feet, 05L/23R is 8000 feet by 150 feet, and 14R/32L is 8000 feet by 200 feet. All four appear on the print.
What is the longest runway on the print?
05R/23L, at 12001 feet long and 200 feet wide. It is the stroke that runs corner to corner from lower left to upper right, and it is the longest line in the composition.
Where is NTU, and what is the elevation?
NTU is the identifier for Oceana NAS (Apollo Soucek Field) in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at an elevation of 22 feet. The coordinates printed in the footer are 36.8227 degrees north and 76.0319 degrees west.
How closely does the artwork follow the published layout?
Runway designators, relative lengths, widths and the angles between the two pairs are plotted from published runway data for this field. It is composed as artwork, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and small service roads are the usual examples.
What sizes and finishes is the NTU artwork available in?
It comes as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download. Several sizes are offered in each, and because the NTU layout is wide and diagonal, the larger sizes give the 12001 foot runway room to read at a distance. Physical pieces are made to order, the download is a file.
Does this work as a gift?
It suits anyone with a connection to the Virginia Beach field or to the crossed runway pattern itself. The Framed Fine Art Print arrives ready to hang, and the Digital Download is the option when you need it right away.
