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 Santa Ana'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.

John Wayne/Orange County Airport Runway Diagram Print
SNA draws as a pair of parallel diagonals running southwest to northeast across the sheet. Runway 2L/20R is the long one, 5,700 by 150 feet of asphalt, and it carries the length of the composition by itself. Set off to its northeast side, the general aviation strip 2R/20L runs 2,886 by 75 feet, short enough that it only shadows the upper half of its neighbor. Field elevation is 56 feet. Taxiways, aprons and terminal footprints fill in around the pair in a lighter tone, which leaves the two runway bars as the darkest marks on the page.
That side by side arrangement has a date on it. The airport was rebuilt in 1964 with the two parallel runway configuration it still uses, replacing an older single strip. Before then the field moonlighted: from 1950 to 1959 the Santa Ana Drag Strip ran on the airport runway every Sunday, when it was closed to air traffic. The Orange County Board of Supervisors renamed the airport in 1979 in honor of actor John Wayne, who lived in neighboring Newport Beach. The short main runway and the local noise corridor also shaped a famously steep departure, described as a takeoff from an aircraft carrier, which is where the nickname USS John Wayne comes from.
Two long parallel lines on a tilted axis make an easy piece to hang. The geometry is simple enough to read from across a room and specific enough that anyone who has flown out of the Thomas F. Riley Terminal will recognize it instantly. In 2024, John Wayne Airport was the second busiest airport in the Greater Los Angeles area by passenger count, so this is a field a lot of people have a memory attached to: a first flight, a commute, a home base for family visits. The field at Long Beach sits about 31 km away, and its diagram pairs naturally with this one if you are building a Southern California wall. Printed to order and shipped free within the US, in the colorway you choose.
Santa Ana (SNA) print, common questions
How many runways does John Wayne/Orange County have?
Two. Runway 2L/20R measures 5,700 by 150 feet and runway 2R/20L measures 2,886 by 75 feet, both asphalt. They run parallel, which is what gives the print its twin diagonal look.
What does the code SNA stand for?
SNA is derived from Santa Ana. The airport itself sits in an unincorporated area of Orange County and is separated from the Santa Ana city limits by Interstate 405 and State Route 55, surrounded by Irvine, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.
How high is the field, and where is it?
Elevation is 56 feet. The field is at 33.6757 degrees north, 117.8682 degrees west, in Santa Ana, California, and those coordinates and the elevation are printed under the identifier on the print.
How close is this print to the real airport layout?
The runway bars, taxiways and apron shapes are drawn from published airport information (cycle 2610, effective 2026-09-03), so the long 2L/20R and the shorter 2R/20L sit in the relationship they hold on the field. This is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted.
What sizes can I get?
It comes in a range of print sizes, and the layout is composed to hold up at each of them: the long runway keeps its diagonal, the short parallel strip stays legible. The palette changes with the colorway you choose while the geometry stays the same.
Does this work as a gift for a pilot or a frequent SNA flyer?
Yes. It reads as a quiet graphic to anyone, and as a specific field to anyone who knows the steep 20R departure or has based an aircraft on the general aviation side. Made to order, with free US shipping.
