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 Portland'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.

Portland Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Portland Municipal (PLD) is a one runway field, and the artwork gives that single strip the whole sheet. Runway 09/27 measures 5505 feet by 75 feet on asphalt, and it runs nearly edge to edge across the composition with a slight tilt off horizontal. The numerals 9 and 27 sit at the two ends in small reversed type, the only lettering inside the drawing itself.
Above the runway a taxiway runs its full length, tied in by short connectors that leave long open bays between them. Near midfield the apron widens and a row of hangars steps off it at an angle, a cluster of small shapes that breaks the horizontal run and gives the eye somewhere to land. A turnaround loop closes the taxiway just past the 27 end. Field elevation, 925 feet, is set with the coordinates in the lower corner beneath the PLD lettering.
As wall art the appeal is the restraint: one dark bar, one pale taxiway, a pinch of structure in the middle, and a great deal of quiet around it. That much negative space suits a hallway or a stairwell where a busier sheet would fight the wall, and the runway line reads clearly from across a room in whichever colorway you choose. The Muncie print can hang beside this one.
Portland (PLD) print, common questions
How many runways does Portland Municipal have?
One. Runway 09/27 is the single runway at the field, and it is the only runway drawn on the print.
How long is the runway at PLD?
5505 feet long and 75 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Those published dimensions set the proportions of the dark bar that crosses the sheet.
Where is PLD, and what does the code stand for?
Portland, Indiana. PLD is the three letter identifier for Portland Municipal, and it is the code set in large type in the lower corner of the artwork.
What is the field elevation shown on the print?
925 feet. It is printed as ELEV 925 FT below the coordinates, so the caption block carries the number without crowding the diagram.
How accurate is the diagram to the published layout?
The runway, taxiway and apron are plotted from published airport information for Portland Municipal, so the single strip and its parallel taxiway sit where the published data puts them. Because the sheet is built to read from across a room, fine details may be simplified or omitted. Paint striping, light fixtures and small airfield signs fall below what this level of drawing carries.
What formats does the PLD artwork come in?
Four: Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. The physical pieces are made to order, and the digital option is a file you download. A one runway field like this holds up well at larger sizes, which makes it an easy gift for someone with a tie to Portland.
