Description
A runway diagram map print of Salinas Municipal Airport (SNS), made from the airport's own layout for the place it holds in your life. Choose your colorway and your format: a fine art giclée print on cotton paper, a framed fine art print, a glossy metal print or a digital download.
Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
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 Salinas'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.

Salinas Municipal Airport Runway Diagram Print
Salinas Municipal reads on the wall as a narrow X. The print draws two asphalt runways: 8/26 running nearly east to west at 6,004 by 150 feet, and 13/31 cutting down from upper left to lower right at 4,825 by 150 feet. They meet well right of center, so the crossing sits off to one side instead of pinning itself to the middle of the sheet. That asymmetry is the whole composition. The long runway anchors the horizontal, the shorter diagonal breaks it, and the pale taxiway web and apron fill the upper left corner where the hangars cluster.
The field sits in Monterey County, about three miles southeast of downtown Salinas, at 84 feet of elevation. It opened in late 1941 as Salinas Army Air Field and served the Army Air Forces as a subpost to Fort Ord, and the 548th Night Fighter Squadron was formed here in 1944. The airport has been without commercial service since 1981. What survives of that layered history is the geometry itself: a wartime crossing pattern, still in use, still legible from directly overhead.
At print size the drawing stays quiet. Runway ends carry their numbers (8, 26, 13, 31) in small reversed type, the buildings and taxiways sit back in a lighter tone, and the identifier block with coordinates and field elevation sits low and right. It hangs well in an office or hallway, and it suits anyone with a reason to know this particular field, whether they trained here, keep an airplane here, or just watched the Salinas Valley go by from the pattern.
Salinas (SNS) print, common questions
How many runways does SNS have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 8/26 is 6,004 by 150 feet and runway 13/31 is 4,825 by 150 feet, both asphalt. Both appear in the print, crossing near the right of the field.
What does the code SNS stand for?
SNS is the identifier for Salinas Municipal Airport in Salinas, California. The print uses SNS, the code most people would recognize on a bag tag or a flight plan.
Where is the airport, and how high is it?
It is in Monterey County, roughly three miles southeast of downtown Salinas, with a field elevation of 84 feet. The coordinates printed on the sheet are 36.6624 N, 121.6072 W.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runways, taxiways, apron and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, and the runway designators match what is published. It is still a print, not a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted for legibility at wall size, so do not fly from it.
What sizes are available?
Several standard portrait sizes, in the colorway you choose. The X shape at Salinas holds up small, though the larger sizes let the taxiway detail in the northwest corner read clearly.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes. It is made to order and lands well with pilots, mechanics, controllers and anyone whose flying life ran through this field. If you are matching an existing frame, pick the size first, then the colorway.
