About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Columbus Air Force Base (CBM), Columbus, Mississippi, United States and Sechelt Aerodrome (YHS), Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,098 miles (or 3,377 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Columbus Air Force Base and Sechelt Aerodrome, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

  • In 1992, ATC was inactivated and the 14 FTW came under the newly created Air Education and Training Command and AETC's 19th Air Force.
  • In addition to being known as "Columbus Air Force Base", another name for CBM is "Columbus AFB".
  • The furthest airport from Columbus Air Force Base (CBM) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,088 miles (17,844 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
  • About half the pilots in the Air Force today went through basic and primary flight training at Columbus AFB.
  • The school used a number of trainers, including the AT-8, AT-9, AT-10, and B-25.
  • The closest airport to Columbus Air Force Base (CBM) is Columbus-Lowndes County Airport (UBS), which is located only 13 miles (21 kilometers) SSE of CBM.
  • The base began an active four-year rebuilding program to prepare the base for its new mission and to be part of SAC's base dispersal system.

Facts about Sechelt Aerodrome (YHS):

  • The furthest airport from Sechelt Aerodrome (YHS) is Tôlanaro Airport (FTU), which is located 10,676 miles (17,182 kilometers) away in Tôlanaro, Madagascar.

  • The closest airport to Sechelt Aerodrome (YHS) is Pender Harbour Water Aerodrome (YPT), which is located only 17 miles (28 kilometers) NW of YHS.
  • Because of Sechelt Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 300 feet, planes can take off or land at Sechelt Aerodrome at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
