Finish
Fine Art Print pairs 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper with pigment giclée printing for rich color and a smooth matte finish. Supplied unframed. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat.
Framed Fine Art Print presents the same cotton paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame, with a white beveled mat and optical-grade clear acrylic. The mat is included, and hanging wire is already installed.
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 Pierre Regional Airport (PIR), 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.

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 Pierre'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.

Pierre Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Pierre Regional Airport gives this print two asphalt runways of almost identical length, set at a wide angle to each other. Runway 13/31 measures 6,900 by 100 feet and carries the long diagonal down the page, upper left to lower right. Runway 07/25 measures 6,880 by 100 feet and runs across the top, tilted just off level. In the drawing the two strips lean toward one another near the top left and stop short of touching, so the field reads as an open V and not a crossed X. A single taxiway leaves 07/25 near its midpoint and angles down to meet the 13/31 pavement, which puts a quiet Y shape in all that empty upper middle.
The field sits three miles east of Pierre in Hughes County and covers 1,834 acres, and the print shows that room. Everything built stacks along the southwest side of the diagonal: apron shapes, a terminal block, and hangar rows that reduce to small rectangles at this scale. Elevation is 1,744 feet, printed under the coordinates in the corner, and the published magnetic variation for the field is 8E. Two runways is a small field by count, but 6,900 feet of pavement twice over is not a small field by geometry, and the composition leans on that contrast.
There is real airline history behind the shape. Inland Airlines and successor Western Airlines served the present airport until 1984. Jet airliners first appeared here in 1968. In 1959 North Central DC-3s worked a stop by stop run that placed Pierre between Aberdeen and Rapid City, and in 1984 Mesaba turboprops tied the town to Sioux Falls. A new terminal, needed for years because the old building had run out of space, was finished in 2012.
On a wall, the diagonal does the work. It cuts corner to corner at an angle steep enough to pull the eye, while the near horizontal strip above it acts as a lid and keeps the whole thing from sliding out of frame. The dark pavement against the flat background stays legible from across a room, and the identifier block sits low and right where it balances the open sky at lower left. The colorway you choose changes the mood more than the drawing, since the linework is the same in each: pavement, taxiway, apron, coordinates, elevation.
Pierre (PIR) print, common questions
How many runways does PIR have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 13/31 is 6,900 by 100 feet and Runway 07/25 is 6,880 by 100 feet, both asphalt in good condition per the published data. The 20 foot difference in length is invisible at print scale, which is why the two strips look like near equals on the page.
Where is Pierre Regional Airport, and how high is it?
It is three miles east of Pierre, in Hughes County, South Dakota, at 44.3827 N, 100.2860 W. Field elevation is 1,744 feet, and both the coordinates and the elevation are printed in the corner block.
What does the code PIR stand for?
PIR is the identifier for Pierre Regional Airport, taken from the city name. It is the code on the print, used alone, because that is what pilots, tags and flight tracking show for this field.
How closely does the print follow the published layout?
Runway positions, lengths, widths and end designators are plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so the diagonal of 13/31 and the near level run of 07/25 sit at the angle they sit at in the source data. It is a print, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including markings, lighting, small buildings, service roads and minor taxiway edges. Nothing here is meant for navigation.
What sizes and finishes are available?
Several standard portrait sizes, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately). The wide angle between the two runways at PIR fills a portrait frame well, so a mid or large size holds the diagonal without crowding the identifier block. Each print is made to order and ships free within the US.
Is this a good gift for a pilot or a Pierre local?
Yes, particularly for anyone who has flown the Denver run out of here, trained on the field, or grew up under the pattern. It reads as a graphic first and a diagram second, so it works for someone who knows every taxiway and for someone who just likes the shape.
