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'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.

North AF Aux Airport Runway Diagram Print
North AF Aux (XNO) is a military airfield about three miles east of the town of North, South Carolina, and on a wall it reads as two dark diagonals climbing from lower left to upper right. The main strip, 06/24, is 10,003 feet long and 150 feet wide, asphalt. The second, 051/231, is 3,500 feet by 90 feet of concrete, set below the main runway at a slightly shallower angle. The two converge toward the northeast without ever crossing, and that near miss is what gives the composition its tension: a long wedge of empty paper held open between two lines that almost touch.
The field has been working since the Second World War. In 1943 the original dirt runway went in, and North served as a satellite airfield of Columbia Army Air Base, supporting B-25 Mitchell medium bomber training. Since 1979 the 437th Airlift Wing at Charleston AFB has held real property jurisdiction over North Field. A control tower and a permanent aircraft rescue and firefighting station were added later, though the tower is not normally staffed. None of that shows up as a caption on the print; it shows up as a field laid out for heavy aircraft and very little else.
The property covers 2,400 acres, roughly 1,150 of them undeveloped, and that ratio is what you get on the sheet: a lot of quiet ground around a little pavement. Taxiways close the gap between the runways in a long triangle, with a ramp and an apron loop off to the east. The 06 threshold sits low and left, and the eye runs the whole length of the asphalt up to 24 before it stops. Whatever colorway you choose, the geometry carries the piece, and it hangs well in a hallway, a study or an office where a single strong angle does more work than a busy image would.
Plotted from published airport information for cycle 2610, the diagram keeps the runway designators, the elevation of 321 feet and the coordinates in the lower corner, so the sheet stays legible as a document as well as a graphic.
North (XNO) print, common questions
How many runways does North AF Aux have, and how long are they?
Two. The main runway, 06/24, is 10,003 feet long and 150 feet wide, asphalt. The crossfield runway, 051/231, is 3,500 feet by 90 feet, concrete. Both are drawn on the print as diagonals that converge toward the northeast without intersecting.
How high is the field, and where is it?
The field elevation is 321 feet. XNO sits in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, about three miles east of the town of North. The elevation and the coordinates are set beneath the identifier in the lower right of the artwork.
What is XNO?
XNO is the identifier for North Air Force Auxiliary Airfield, which also carries the ICAO code KXNO. The print uses XNO, the short form, as the headline mark under the diagram.
How accurate is the layout?
The diagram is plotted from published runway data for the current charting cycle, so designators, relative lengths, widths and orientations follow the published airport information. It is artwork first, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and minor service roads are the usual examples.
What formats and sizes can I get?
Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Glossy Metal Print and Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download. The long diagonal of 06/24 holds its shape at large sizes and still reads clearly at smaller ones.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for aircrew, controllers and maintainers with time at North Field, or for anyone tied to Orangeburg County. It is specific enough to be personal and quiet enough to live on a shared wall.
