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 Ottumwa'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.

Ottumwa Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Ottumwa Regional has two runways, and they cross, which is why this print reads as one clean X. Runway 13/31 is the long arm at 6,001 feet by 100 feet of concrete, falling from the upper left of the sheet to the lower right. Runway 4/22 climbs the other way, 4,601 feet by 100 feet, and the two meet left of center rather than at the middle of the paper. That off-center crossing is what makes the composition work: the intersection pulls your eye left, then the taxiways and the apron carry it back to the right, where the buildings sit in a small cluster of blocks.
The field started as Naval Air Station Ottumwa. The Navy approved the site in 1942 and the first Naval Aviation Cadets arrived in 1943, flying primary training out of a base cut from Iowa farmland. More than 4,600 naval aviators earned their wings of gold at Ottumwa before pre flight training was moved away and the city took the base over in 1947. Scheduled airline service came later and then went: it ended in 2001. The airport took its current name in 2008, and a renovation in 2009 repaved and extended runway 4/22 and added a parallel taxiway.
Ottumwa Regional sits six miles northwest of Ottumwa, in Wapello County, and runway 13/31 is the primary runway, with an instrument landing system serving runway 31. On a wall, the geometry does the talking. There is no clutter to explain, just two dark strips, their end numbers set in small tags, and the coordinates and elevation of 846 feet stacked under the identifier. It hangs on its own above a desk, and it also groups well with prints of bigger Iowa fields such as Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, where the runway pattern is a different shape entirely. The colorway you choose sets the mood, warm and quiet or high contrast and graphic.
Ottumwa (OTM) print, common questions
How many runways does Ottumwa Regional have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 13/31 measures 6,001 feet by 100 feet with a concrete surface, and runway 4/22 measures 4,601 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt and concrete surface. Both appear in the print, crossing each other left of center.
Where is OTM, and what is the field elevation?
OTM is Ottumwa Regional, six miles northwest of Ottumwa in Wapello County, Iowa. The field elevation is 846 feet, and that number is printed under the coordinates in the lower corner of the design.
What does the code OTM mean?
OTM is the identifier for Ottumwa Regional Airport in Ottumwa, Iowa; the four letter form used internationally is KOTM. The print carries the three letter code in large type so the airport is readable across a room.
How accurate is the diagram compared with the published layout?
The runway pattern is plotted from published airport information, so runway 13/31 and runway 4/22 sit at their published angles, relative lengths and crossing point. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted, including taxiway edge markings, signage, lighting and smaller structures. Nothing on it should be used for flight.
What sizes and finishes are available?
Several sizes are offered, from a small format that suits a gallery wall to a large format that can anchor a room on its own, as a fine art print, framed or on metal. Each one is made to order in the colorway you choose, and the OTM layout is composed to fit your chosen size.
Is this a good gift for someone connected to Ottumwa?
It works for pilots trained at the field, students, and anyone with roots in southeast Iowa, because the crossed runways are recognizable at a glance to people who know the airport. Prints are made to order and ship free within the US.
