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.

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.

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 North Kingstown'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.

Quonset State Airport Runway Diagram Print
Quonset State is a two runway field, and on this sheet the two strips cross in a long, lopsided X. Runway 16/34 carries the field: 7,000 feet by 150 feet of asphalt, drawn as one unbroken black bar that runs from the upper left of the page down toward the lower right, with the 16 threshold near the top and the 34 numbers well down the page. The second runway, 05/23, is 4,000 feet by 75 feet and noticeably thinner. It climbs from the bottom of the sheet up to the right and cuts through 16/34 low, so the intersection sits nowhere near the middle. That off-center crossing is what gives the composition its tension.
The airport sits on Quonset Point in northeastern North Kingstown, Rhode Island, next to Narragansett Bay, and it was the site of Naval Air Station Quonset Point from 1941 until the early 1970s. The gray layer on the print carries that inheritance: a long ramp with blocks of hangars and buildings stacked along the west side of 16/34, taxiway loops feeding the runway at three points, and a wide angular apron structure out to the east of the crossing. The black runway bars and the field elevation of 18 feet at the bottom of the sheet do the rest of the work.
As wall art it reads as one confident diagonal answered by a shorter one, which is why it holds up at a distance and rewards a closer look. Coordinates, elevation and the OQU identifier are set quietly under the diagram, so the geometry stays the subject. If you are collecting Rhode Island fields, it hangs well next to the Providence diagram, and the colorway you choose sets whether the piece sits back or takes the wall.
North Kingstown (OQU) print, common questions
How many runways does Quonset State have?
Two. Runway 16/34 measures 7,000 feet by 150 feet, and runway 05/23 measures 4,000 feet by 75 feet. Both are asphalt, and both appear on the print.
What is the longest runway at OQU?
16/34 at 7,000 feet long and 150 feet wide. It is the dominant black bar on the sheet, running from upper left to lower right.
Where is OQU, and how high is the field?
North Kingstown, Rhode Island, on Quonset Point next to Narragansett Bay. The field elevation is 18 feet, printed under the diagram.
What does the code OQU mean?
OQU is the three letter location identifier for Quonset State Airport. The airport also carries a separate IATA designation, NCO, which is unusual for a US field. The print uses OQU.
How accurate is the layout on this print?
The diagram is plotted from published runway data, so 16/34 and 05/23 hold their published lengths, widths and angles relative to one another. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes does it come in, and does it work as a gift?
Several sizes are offered, each printed to order in the colorway you choose. It travels well as a gift for a pilot who trained here, for anyone with Quonset Point history, or for a Rhode Island transplant who wants something from home on the wall. Free US shipping.
