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 Rock Springs'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.

Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport sits at 6,765 feet above sea level, which is the first fact worth knowing about it and the one printed in the margin. Two asphalt runways cross to make a clean X on the sheet. Runway 09/27 is the long arm, 10,002 by 150 feet, drawn as a wide bar that runs from the upper left of the frame down to the lower right. Runway 03/21 is the thin arm, 5,228 by 75 feet, and it climbs from the bottom left up to the 21 threshold at the top, cutting 09/27 about a third of the way in from the 9 end. Magnetic variation is 13E, so the plotted headings sit well off true north.
The X is what makes this one work as art. The two runways are drawn at different widths because they are different widths, so the print has a heavy stroke and a light stroke laid across each other rather than two matching lines. Everything built sits in the upper wedge above the crossing: the terminal row, a squared hangar block and a short run of taxiway loops feeding both runways. The rest of the sheet is empty, which is a fair account of a field that sits on 1,242 acres eight miles east of Rock Springs in Sweetwater County.
The airport is owned by the City of Rock Springs and run by a joint powers board, and its commercial terminal opened in 1978. In December 2017 it became the first airport in Wyoming to draw part of its electrical demand from a renewable source, a solar array serving the general aviation complex. Scheduled service points one way: in the twelve months through early 2022 the busiest route out of the field was Denver, with about 18,000 passengers. On the print, runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures and the taxiways and apron edges are reduced to flat geometry. It is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, made to order over the ground tone you choose.
Rock Springs (RKS) print, common questions
How many runways does Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport have?
Two, and they cross. Runway 09/27 is 10,002 by 150 feet and runway 03/21 is 5,228 by 75 feet. Both are asphalt, and the print keeps the width difference between them.
How high is RKS, and what is its longest runway?
Field elevation is 6,765 feet above sea level, and that number is set in the margin of the print. The longest runway is 09/27 at 10,002 feet.
Where is RKS and what does the code stand for?
RKS is the code for Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport, eight miles east of Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, at roughly 41.59 north, 109.07 west. It is owned by the City of Rock Springs and run by a joint city and county airport board.
Is the diagram accurate to the real field?
The runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two runways come from published airport information. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.
What sizes can I get, and does this make a good gift?
Several sizes and finishes, each one made to order, on a ground tone you select at checkout. It suits pilots who have flown out of Rock Springs, and anyone with a Sweetwater County connection.
