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.

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 Peru'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.

Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A Duncan Field Runway Diagram Print
The VYS print reads as a lopsided cross. One long runway runs nearly the full height of the sheet, north to south, and a second, shorter runway cuts across it on a diagonal well below the midpoint. That is runway 18/36 at 5,999 by 100 feet and runway 07/25 at 3,999 by 75 feet, both asphalt, plotted from published airport information for Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A Duncan Field.
What makes it work on a wall is where the two lines meet. The crossing sits low and off center, so the tall strip gets a long uninterrupted run through the upper half of the composition before anything interrupts it. Taxiways, aprons and a row of hangar blocks gather along one flank in a lighter tone, which keeps the two black runway bars as the only strong marks. The corner block carries the identifier, Peru, Illinois, the coordinates and an elevation of 654 feet.
This is a city-owned, public-use field covering 200 acres, and operations began in 1985. It has hosted the TBM Avenger Reunion every year since 2016. A print of Peoria can hang beside this one.
Peru (VYS) print, common questions
How many runways does VYS have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 18/36 measures 5,999 by 100 feet and runway 07/25 measures 3,999 by 75 feet. Both are asphalt, and both appear in the artwork.
Where is Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A Duncan Field?
Peru, Illinois. The field sits at an elevation of 654 feet, and the coordinates printed in the corner block are 41.3501 N, 89.1529 W.
What does the code VYS stand for?
VYS is the three-letter identifier for Illinois Valley Regional-Walter A Duncan Field. The four-letter version is KVYS, but the artwork uses the short form because it sets better as a piece of type.
How accurate is the layout in this airport map print?
The runways, taxiways and building footprints are plotted from published airport data, so the crossing angle and the relative lengths of 18/36 and 07/25 follow the published layout. It is a designed piece rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, markings and signage are examples of what gets left out for legibility.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
The VYS artwork is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes and in the colorway you choose. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file.
Does this make a good gift?
It does for anyone with a connection to the field: a pilot who trained on 18/36, someone who has walked the ramp at the TBM Avenger Reunion, or a family in Peru. The layout is specific enough to be recognized on sight and quiet enough to live in a hallway or an office.
