Glossy Metal Print brings vivid color to coated aluminum through dye sublimation. The glossy surface resists scratches and water; the included hidden mount positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall.

Description
A runway diagram map print of Ohio State University Airport (OSU), made from the airport's own layout for the place it holds in your life. Choose your colorway and your format: a fine art giclée print on cotton paper, a framed fine art print, a glossy metal print or a digital download.
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. 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 Columbus'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.

Ohio State University Airport Runway Diagram Print
Ohio State University Airport is a three runway field, and on the sheet it reads as a loose letter Z. Runway 9R/27L carries the layout at 5,004 feet by 100 feet and runs nearly the full width of the print. Above it, 9L/27R sits parallel and much shorter at 2,994 feet by 100 feet. The third strip, 5/23, climbs from the lower left at 3,562 feet by 100 feet, crosses the long runway well west of center, and stops just shy of the 27R threshold. All three are asphalt.
The field was built in 1943 as a flight training facility for military and civilian pilots, and it became a public-use airport in 1959. It is owned and operated by Ohio State University, and it is also known as the OSU Don Scott Airport, after Donald E. Scott, an alumnus who died during pilot training in the United Kingdom in the Second World War. The National Intercollegiate Flying Association has kept its headquarters here since 2015.
As wall art, the pull is the tension between order and angle: two parallel bars holding the horizon, one diagonal that refuses to line up with them. The taxiway loops, the ramp, and the long rows of hangars along the south edge stay in a quieter tone so the runways remain the subject, and the corner block carries the identifier, the coordinates, and the 906 foot elevation. It is rendered in the colorway you choose, and the same treatment covers other Ohio fields, including Dayton and Cincinnati, if you want to hang a set.
Columbus (OSU) print, common questions
How many runways does Ohio State University Airport have, and how are they arranged?
Three. 9R/27L and 9L/27R run parallel to each other, and 5/23 cuts diagonally across 9R/27L, which is what gives the diagram its angled, off-grid look.
How long is the longest runway at OSU?
Runway 9R/27L measures 5,004 feet by 100 feet and is asphalt. The other two are 3,562 feet by 100 feet (5/23) and 2,994 feet by 100 feet (9L/27R).
Where is the airport, and what is the field elevation?
It sits about 6 miles northwest of downtown Columbus, in Franklin County, Ohio, at 906 feet of elevation. The coordinates printed in the corner block are 40.0795 N, 83.0732 W.
What does OSU stand for on the print?
OSU is the identifier for Ohio State University Airport, which is owned and operated by the university and also known as the OSU Don Scott Airport.
How accurate is the runway layout?
The diagram is plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so runway positions, lengths and relative angles follow the published data. Fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and small pavement edges are examples of what gets left out for legibility at wall size.
Is this a good gift for a pilot or an aviation student?
Yes. It reads instantly to anyone who has flown circuits at a university field, and because it is made to order in a range of sizes and finishes, it works framed over a desk or as a larger statement piece.
