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 Vernal'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.

Vernal Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print
Vernal Regional is a one runway field, and the print gives you that one runway at full length: 17/35, 7,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, asphalt, plotted from published runway data as a single dark strip running nearly top to bottom of the sheet. A taxiway shadows it down the left side in a lighter tone, tied in by four short connectors that leave a ladder of open rectangles between the two lines. The apron and the building cluster sit up at the north end, beside the 17 threshold, which loads the weight of the composition high and leaves the lower half quiet. It is a tall, narrow, unfussy shape, and it hangs well in a vertical slot where a wider airport would not fit.
The field has carried scheduled flying for a long time. In 1950, Frontier Airlines Douglas DC-3s flew nonstop from Vernal to Salt Lake City and Rock Springs, and direct on to Denver. Frontier stayed with the town for decades and had left by 1982. None of that history is drawn on the print, of course, but it is the reason a small Uintah County field ended up with a strip this long.
Elevation is the other number worth noticing: 5,274 feet, printed in the corner block along with the coordinates and the identifier. The airport covers 393 acres about a mile southeast of Vernal, owned by the city and the county. On the wall the diagram reads as one confident line with a small dense cluster at its head, and the colorway you choose decides whether that line sits sharp against the background or settles into it.
Vernal (VEL) print, common questions
How many runways does Vernal Regional have?
One. Runway 17/35 is 7,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway on the print.
How high is the field at VEL?
5,274 feet above sea level. That elevation is printed in the corner block of the print next to the identifier.
Where is VEL?
About a mile southeast of Vernal, in Uintah County, Utah, at 40.4361 N, 109.5114 W. Those coordinates appear on the print.
What is VEL?
VEL is the three letter identifier for Vernal Regional, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the print.
Is the layout accurate to the published airport diagram?
The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information for Vernal Regional, including the 7,000 by 100 foot dimensions of 17/35. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Markings, lighting and signage are among the things left off.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
Several sizes are offered, each made to order with free US shipping in the States. It is an easy gift for a pilot who has flown into Vernal, for someone who grew up in the Uintah Basin, or for anyone who likes a clean vertical graphic; you pick the size and the colorway you choose does the rest.
