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 Tucson'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.

Ryan Field Runway Diagram Print
Ryan Field works three asphalt runways on the desert floor southwest of Tucson, and the print hands them the upper half of the sheet. Two of them run as a parallel pair on a northeast diagonal: 6R/24L at 5,500 feet and 6L/24R at 4,900 feet, both 75 feet wide. They sit close and stagger slightly, so the eye reads them as one long stroke that has been split down its length.
The third runway, 15/33 at 4,010 feet, runs nearly straight up and down and cuts through both parallels near their southwest ends. That crossing is what makes the diagram worth framing: two shallow diagonals, one hard vertical, and the weight of the composition landing where they meet. Below the intersection, the apron, the hangar rows and the taxiway grid gather into a dense gray block, which leaves the rest of the sheet open and quiet.
There is history under the geometry. Ground was broken in 1942 for a flying school, military flight training at Ryan ceased in 1944, and a control tower was built in 1993. None of that is printed on the sheet. The diagram is composed from published airport information, with the coordinates, the elevation of 2,419 feet and the identifier set in the lower corner and nothing else competing for attention. It reads as a graphic first, which is why it hangs comfortably beside other Arizona fields from here up to Phoenix.
Tucson (RYN) print, common questions
How many runways does Ryan Field have, and how long are they?
Three, all asphalt. 6R/24L is the longest at 5,500 feet, 6L/24R is 4,900 feet, and 15/33 is 4,010 feet. Each one is 75 feet wide, which is why the three strips carry the same visual weight on the print.
Where is Ryan Field, and what is RYN?
It is southwest of Tucson, in Pima County, Arizona, sitting at 2,419 feet above sea level. RYN is the three-letter identifier the airport is known by, and it is set in large type below the diagram.
How closely does the print follow the published layout?
Runway lengths, widths, angles and relative positions are plotted from published runway data, so the parallel pair and the crossing strip fall where they fall on the current diagram. At print scale, fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting symbols and signage are examples of what is left out.
What sizes are available?
Several standard portrait sizes, printed to order. Larger sizes hold the taxiway grid and the hangar rows more legibly, while smaller sizes read mostly as the runway geometry itself. The colorway you choose ships with the same line work.
Is this a good gift for a pilot?
It works best for someone with a reason to know this field: a student who flew circuits over the desert here, an instructor, a mechanic, or anyone who kept an aircraft in those hangar rows. The layout is specific enough that they will recognize it before they read the identifier.
