About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Camden Aerodrome (CDU), Camden, New South Wales, Australia and Marfa Municipal Airport (MRF), Marfa, Texas, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,163 miles (or 13,136 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 large distance between Camden Aerodrome and Marfa Municipal Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.
Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Camden Aerodrome and Marfa Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Camden Aerodrome (CDU):
- The FAC was wound down in 1998 and Camden was transferred along with Bankstown, the former Hoxton Park Airport and Kingsford Smith Airport to Sydney Airports Corporation Limited, but at this stage was still a government controlled enterprise.
- Originally a private airstrip, the area that was to become Camden Aerodrome was utilised by the Royal Australian Air Force and other Allied air forces during World War II.
- Because of Camden Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 230 feet, planes can take off or land at Camden 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.
- Camden Aerodrome (CDU) has 2 runways.
- The Lockheed Hudson equipped No.
