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 Sacramento'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.

Sacramento Executive Airport Runway Diagram Print
Sacramento Executive draws as an X. Runway 02/20, 5,503 ft by 150 ft of asphalt, runs from the lower left corner up to the right side of the sheet, and Runway 12/30, 3,837 ft by 100 ft, cuts the other way across it. The two meet high on the page rather than in the middle, which is what gives this print its off center balance: a long unbroken leg dropping toward the bottom left, a shorter arm reaching down to the right, and quiet paper below the crossing. The threshold numbers 2, 20, 12 and 30 sit in the runway ends as reversed type, small enough to be a detail you find rather than a label you read first.
The field opened in 1930 as Sutterville Aerodrome, three miles south of downtown Sacramento, and it stayed the city's airline airport for decades. In 1967 the carriers moved to the new Sacramento International Airport, the airport was renamed Sacramento Executive, and that last set of airline schedules still listed weekday nonstops to San Francisco along with a single flight to Oakland. In 2004 operations averaged 370 per day. An older runway, 16/34, was closed in 2017, so the two lighted runways drawn here are the two that are left.
What is not runway is held back in a lighter tone: taxiway loops, the ramp and the rows of hangars stacked along the west edge of the 540 acre field, plus the long parallel taxiway that shadows 02/20 most of its length. That tonal split is the whole design idea, and it lets the print work from across a room and up close. Identifier, city, coordinates and the 23 ft elevation are set in the lower right corner, so the sheet still says where it is even when the geometry is doing the talking. Pick the colorway you choose to match the room; the drawing underneath does not change.
Sacramento (SAC) print, common questions
How many runways does Sacramento Executive have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 02/20 is 5,503 ft long and 150 ft wide, and Runway 12/30 is 3,837 ft long and 100 ft wide. Both are asphalt, and both appear on the print, crossing each other in the upper part of the composition.
What is SAC, and where is the airport?
SAC is the identifier for Sacramento Executive Airport, and it is the code printed at the bottom of the sheet. The field sits three miles south of downtown Sacramento, California, at 38.5129 N, 121.4933 W, with a published elevation of 23 ft.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runway geometry, dimensions and threshold designations are plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle. It is a designed diagram rather than a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted, markings and lighting are not shown, and it should never be used for flight planning.
Which sizes and finishes are available?
The SAC layout is composed to hold up across the full size range, from a desk sized sheet to a large statement piece, as a fine art print, framed or on metal. The tall X reads well in portrait orientation, and the crossing point stays clear even at smaller sizes.
Is this a good gift for a Sacramento pilot?
It works well for anyone who trained, based an aircraft or logged pattern work at Executive. The layout is specific enough that people who know the field recognize it immediately, and it is understated enough to hang in an office or hallway without explanation.
Does the print show anything besides the runways?
Yes. Taxiways, the aprons and the hangar and building rows along the west side of the field are rendered in a secondary tone so the two runways stay dominant. The corner block carries the identifier, city and state, coordinates and elevation.
