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.

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 Salisbury'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.

Mid-Carolina Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Mid-Carolina Regional runs one runway, 02/20, 5,501 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt, and the print gives that single strip the whole page. On the print the runway sits almost upright, leaning a few degrees off vertical, labeled 2 at the lower southwest end and 20 at the upper northeast end. A parallel taxiway shadows it down the east side, and that pairing of one dark bar against one thin light line is the entire composition. Nothing crosses it. No second runway, no X, no V.
The interest is in what hangs off that spine. Ladder rungs of connector taxiway step across to a cluster of aprons and hangar blocks along the east flank, with a separate rectangular apron standing alone on the west side about a third of the way up. Read from a few feet back the whole thing looks like a ruled line with hardware clipped to it, which is why a small general aviation field like this one prints well: it is legible instantly, and it holds a wall without shouting. The field elevation, 772 feet, and the coordinates sit in the lower corner under the identifier.
The airport is a general aviation field covering 400 acres, three miles southwest of downtown Salisbury in Rowan County, and it was renamed from Rowan County Airport in 2016. Geographically it sits in the corridor between Charlotte to the southwest and the Piedmont cities to the northeast, close enough to Concord that pilots working this part of the state know all three fields by sight. On paper that context is trivia. On a wall it is the reason someone recognizes the shape.
Salisbury (RUQ) print, common questions
How many runways does RUQ have, and how long is it?
One. Runway 02/20 measures 5,501 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway drawn on the print.
Where is Mid-Carolina Regional?
Salisbury, North Carolina, in Rowan County, about three miles southwest of the city's central business district. Field elevation is 772 feet, which is printed under the coordinates on the print.
What does RUQ stand for?
RUQ is the location identifier for Mid-Carolina Regional Airport and the code set in large type on this print. The airport is an oddity in that its IATA code, SRW, is a different set of letters entirely.
How accurate is the diagram?
The layout is plotted from published airport information, so the runway orientation, the parallel taxiway on the east side and the apron and hangar footprints all sit where the published data puts them. It is a design print rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Approach lighting, markings and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes are available?
Several standard sizes are offered, and the single upright runway suits a tall vertical frame particularly well. The linework stays crisp in whichever colorway you choose.
Does this work as a gift?
It lands for anyone with a connection to this specific field: someone who trained here, keeps an aircraft here, or grew up under the pattern in Salisbury. Each print is made to order and ships free within the US.
