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 Rockland'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.

Knox County Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
RKD is a two runway field, and on paper it reads as a clean X. Runway 13/31 runs 5412 feet from the upper left of the sheet down to the lower right, and 03/21 crosses it at a steeper pitch, 4000 feet of it, marked 3 at the bottom edge and 21 near the top. They meet just left of center, which is what gives the composition its tension: the crossing point is off the middle, so the four arms are all different lengths and the eye keeps moving. Both runways are 100 feet wide, so the two black bars carry equal weight and neither one wins outright.
Everything else hangs off that crossing. A pale taxiway shadows the long runway for most of its run and loops back at each end, and the apron opens out to the right of the intersection as a single broad gray field with hangars budded along its edge. A second cluster of small buildings sits low and right, angled a few degrees off everything else, and one lone structure floats up near the top left with nothing around it. Those gray shapes are what keep the print from being a plain geometric mark: they give the black bars something to sit against.
The corner block keeps it honest: RKD, Rockland, Maine, the coordinates, and a field elevation of 55 feet. The published magnetic variation here is 18W, which is why the runway numbers read 13 and 31 rather than the angles you would measure off a north-up page. In the colorway you choose the drawing stays the same: two crossing strips, the pavement around them, and a lot of deliberate empty space. It sits well next to other Maine fields, Bangor or Augusta, if you are building a wall of them.
Rockland (RKD) print, common questions
How many runways does RKD have?
Two. Runway 13/31 is the long one at 5412 feet, and 03/21 is 4000 feet. Both are 100 feet wide, and they cross, which is what produces the X shape on the print.
Where is Knox County Regional, and what is RKD?
It serves Rockland, Maine. RKD is the three letter identifier for the airport, and it is the code set in large type in the lower corner of the artwork.
How high is the field?
55 feet of elevation, which is printed under the city line along with the coordinates.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runways, taxiways and apron shapes are plotted from published airport data, so lengths, widths and the crossing angle follow the published layout. It is still a piece of wall art: fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
The RKD artwork comes as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order; the download is a file you print yourself.
Does this work as a gift?
It does, for anyone with a reason to know this field: pilots who have flown into Rockland, people who grew up near it, or anyone who wants one specific airport on the wall instead of a generic aviation image.
