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 Auburn'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.

Auburn Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Auburn Municipal (S50) has a single runway, and the print draws it as one dark bar running the full height of the sheet: 17/35, 3,842 feet long and 75 feet wide, asphalt. Nothing crosses it. There is no X, no V, no second strip pulling the eye sideways, so the whole composition rests on that one vertical line and on the pale taxiway and hangar rows stacked along its east side. As art, that reads as a column, which is why this one hangs well in a narrow slot of wall: beside a door frame, up a stairwell, or in a vertical pair with another field.
The airport is also referred to as Dick Scobee Field, after Francis Scobee, an Auburn and Washington native who was the commander astronaut for the Space Shuttle Challenger and was killed in the 1986 Challenger disaster. That name is not printed on the diagram, but it is the reason this small field carries more weight for people who know it than its 110 acres would suggest.
It sits two miles north of downtown Auburn, in King County, and the nearest commercial field is Seattle-Tacoma International, 8 nautical miles northwest. The plan of integrated airport systems categorized S50 as a regional reliever facility for 2017 through 2021. It is busy for its size: in 2019, 264 aircraft were based at Auburn, and in 2019 the field averaged 383 operations per day. You can see where that traffic lives in the drawing, in the long combs of T hangars that fill the right half of the page while the runway stays deliberately bare.
The linework is rendered from published airport information, with the identifier, coordinates and elevation set in the lower corner. Elevation is 63 feet, and the coordinates put the field at 47.3276 N, 122.2267 W. Weights are kept simple: the runway holds the darkest value, pavement and buildings step back in grey, and the background carries whichever colorway you choose. It is a quiet piece up close and a legible shape from across the room.
Auburn (S50) print, common questions
How long is the runway at S50?
Runway 17/35 is 3,842 feet long and 75 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. It is the only runway at Auburn Municipal, and the print draws it at that published proportion, long and narrow.
Where is Auburn Municipal and what does S50 mean?
The field is two miles north of downtown Auburn, in King County, Washington. S50 is its identifier, the short code used in published airport records and on the print itself. It has no four-letter ICAO code, so S50 is the code you will see.
What is the field elevation?
63 feet above sea level. That figure is set in the lower corner of the artwork under the coordinates, along with the identifier and the city and state.
How accurate is the layout?
The diagram is plotted from published runway data for S50, so the single strip, its 17/35 orientation and the arrangement of taxiway and apron pavement follow the published layout. It is still a design piece, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting, signage and small outbuildings are the usual examples.
What sizes and finishes are available?
Sizes run small to large, from a compact piece that suits a desk wall or a gallery grid up to a large single statement panel, and the tall shape of the S50 diagram holds up at both ends of that range. Finishes are Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download.
Is this a good gift for a pilot who flies out of Auburn?
It works best for someone with a reason to know this field: a pilot who trained here, a based owner, or anyone connected to Dick Scobee Field. The identifier and coordinates make it specific rather than generic aviation decor, and the single-runway shape is recognizable to anyone who has flown the pattern.
