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 Spearfish'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.

Black Hills-Clyde Ice Field Runway Diagram Print
Black Hills-Clyde Ice Field (SPF) sits at 3,933 feet of elevation near Spearfish, South Dakota, and all three of its runways make it onto the print. The long one, 13/31, runs corner to corner as a hard dark bar from upper left to lower right, and it carries the whole composition. Everything else hangs off that diagonal.
The paved strip, 13/31, is 6,401 by 75 feet of asphalt. Short turf runway 04/22 meets the lower end of it at a steep angle, a stubby 1,995 by 120 feet, which means it is drawn wider than the asphalt and barely a third as long. Turf runway 08/26, 4,003 by 100 feet, lies apart from the other two, a near horizontal band floating in the lower third of the sheet with nothing connecting it. Three surfaces, three angles, one long line doing the heavy lifting: that is an unusually clean shape for a wall.
The apron and hangar rows cluster along the middle of the diagonal, drawn as small blocks and tidy nested rectangles, so the eye has somewhere to land between the big empty stretches. The layout is plotted from published airport information, including the 11E magnetic variation noted for the field, which is why the runway numbers read the way they do rather than matching a compass. Pilots flying the Black Hills know this field from the pattern; anyone who has driven up from Rapid City knows the valley it sits in. In the colorway you choose, it reads as geometry first and airport second.
Spearfish (SPF) print, common questions
How many runways does SPF have?
Three. Runway 13/31 is asphalt at 6,401 by 75 feet, runway 08/26 is turf at 4,003 by 100 feet, and runway 04/22 is turf at 1,995 by 120 feet. All three appear on the print.
How long is the longest runway at Black Hills-Clyde Ice Field?
6,401 feet. That is runway 13/31, the asphalt strip that runs diagonally across the artwork and anchors the whole layout.
Where is SPF and how high is the field?
Spearfish, South Dakota, at an elevation of 3,933 feet. The coordinates and elevation are printed in the corner block alongside the identifier.
What does SPF mean?
SPF is the three-letter identifier for Black Hills-Clyde Ice Field. It is the code you see on charts and flight plans, and it is set in large type at the base of the artwork.
How accurate is the layout to the published airport diagram?
Runway positions, relative lengths, widths and angles follow published runway data for the field, so the steep meeting of 04/22 with the end of 13/31 and the detached turf strip both show up as they are charted. This is a designed piece rather than a chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Taxiway markings, lighting symbols and signage are examples of what gets left out.
What sizes and finishes are available, and does it work as a gift?
Choose from Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print or Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download. For a pilot who trained on that 6,401 foot runway or a family with a hangar on the Spearfish apron, it lands better than a generic aviation print.
