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 North Wilkesboro'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.

Wilkes County Airport Runway Diagram Print
Wilkes County (UKF) has one runway, and the drawing is built entirely around it. Runway 01/19 is asphalt, 6,201 feet long and 100 feet wide, rendered as the single solid dark bar on the sheet, numbered 19 at the upper end and 1 at the lower. Field elevation is 1,303 feet. Published magnetic variation is 8W.
That bar runs close to vertical, tipped just off the edge of the sheet, which is what stops the composition from reading as a ruled line. A lighter taxiway runs parallel to it for the full length, tied in by short connector stubs that work like rungs. Partway along, the apron widens and a loose cluster of small building shapes gathers beside it, the only busy part of the page. Everything else is open paper.
One long stroke, one knot of detail, a lot of quiet: this is a layout that suits a tall wall better than a wide one. The colorway you choose decides whether the runway lands as the darkest mark on the sheet or the brightest. The Jefferson print can hang beside this one.
North Wilkesboro (UKF) print, common questions
How many runways does Wilkes County have?
One. Runway 01/19, asphalt, 6,201 feet by 100 feet. The print shows that single runway with the taxiway that parallels it.
How long is the runway at UKF?
6,201 feet long and 100 feet wide, the length that sets the vertical axis of the whole drawing.
What is the field elevation?
1,303 feet. It is printed under the identifier in the lower corner of the artwork, alongside the coordinates.
What does UKF stand for?
UKF is the identifier for Wilkes County, the airport at North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. It is the code set large beneath the drawing.
How accurate is the layout?
It is plotted from published airport information, so runway 01/19 carries its published length, width and orientation against the taxiway and apron. This is artwork before it is a reference document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.
What formats and sizes are available?
Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print and Glossy Metal Print, each made to order, plus a Digital Download if you want the file itself. Sizes taller than they are wide suit this near vertical runway best, and the piece makes a pointed gift for someone who knows the field by its identifier.
