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.

Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Two runways cross near the center of the SBY diagram and open into a wide X. Runway 14/32 is the long one at 6,400 feet, running from upper left to lower right; 05/23 cuts the other way at 5,000 feet. Both are 100 feet wide, so the two dark bars carry almost the same weight on the page and neither one wins. Each end is labeled at the tip of its bar, and the field elevation, 53 feet, sits in the corner block under the identifier.
Wicomico County and the City of Salisbury started building the field in 1940 with the Works Progress Administration, and it opened in 1943 before being leased to the U.S. Navy as a training base through 1945. The Maryland State Police set up a medevac helicopter base here in 1978. Piedmont Airlines made Salisbury its primary operating base after 1993, and the Richard A. Henson Terminal, a 26,000 square foot building, opened in 1990. Scheduled flights ran from Salisbury to Washington until 2008 and to Baltimore until 2009, and the airport sits about five miles southeast of downtown, centrally placed on the Delmarva Peninsula.
The built-up side of the sheet sits west of the crossing: apron, terminal and hangar rows in soft gray, with taxiway loops rendered as thin outlines that give the X something to sit inside. A second, smaller cluster of buildings sits below the crossing, off by itself on a stub taxiway. The rest of the paper is left open, which is what lets the two bars hold a wall. Runway 14/32 reached its published 6,400 feet after a 1,000 foot extension finished in 2011, and that extra reach is part of why the crossing lands a little above the middle of the composition rather than dead center.
Salisbury (SBY) print, common questions
How many runways does SBY have?
Two. Runway 14/32 is 6,400 feet long and 05/23 is 5,000 feet, and both are 100 feet wide. On the print they cross near the middle and form a wide X.
How long is the main runway at Salisbury?
6,400 feet. That is runway 14/32, the longer of the two, surfaced as asphalt and concrete. It got there after a 1,000 foot extension completed in 2011.
Where is the airport, and what does SBY mean?
SBY is the identifier for Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional, in unincorporated Wicomico County, Maryland, roughly five miles southeast of downtown Salisbury on the Delmarva Peninsula. Field elevation is 53 feet.
Is the diagram accurate to the published layout?
The runway lengths, widths and crossing angle come from published airport data, and that data guides the relative runway geometry on the sheet. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes can I get?
It comes in a range of sizes, from a small desk-scale piece up to a statement size for an office wall. The colorway you choose changes how much the gray apron and taxiway work reads against the two runway bars, so pick by the room. Each one is made to order.
Is this a good gift for someone from the Eastern Shore?
It works well for anyone who learned to fly at Salisbury, flew in and out of the terminal, or just grew up on the Delmarva Peninsula. The X of the two runways is recognizable from across a room, and the coordinates and elevation are printed under the SBY block, so the piece explains itself without a caption.
