About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Wendover Airport (ENV), Wendover, Utah, United States and La Florida Airport (LSC), La Serena, Chile would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,597 miles (or 9,007 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 Wendover Airport and La Florida 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 Wendover Airport and La Florida Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Wendover Airport (ENV):
- Wendover AAF was declared surplus in 1976 and on June 16 most of the field, including the water system, was turned over to Wendover, Utah, as a municipal airport.
- Because of Wendover Airport's high elevation of 4,237 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ENV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ENV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Wendover Airport (ENV) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,980 miles (17,671 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Wendover Airport (ENV) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Wendover Airport (ENV) is Wells Municipal Airport (LWL), which is located 54 miles (87 kilometers) WNW of ENV.

Facts about La Florida Airport (LSC):
- The closest airport to La Florida Airport (LSC) is Chamonate Airfield (CPO), which is located 187 miles (301 kilometers) NNE of LSC.
- La Florida Airport (LSC) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from La Florida Airport (LSC) is Qianjiang Wulingshan Airport (JIQ), which is nearly antipodal to La Florida Airport (meaning La Florida Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Qianjiang Wulingshan Airport), and is located 12,409 miles (19,971 kilometers) away in Qianjiang, Chongqing, China.
- Because of La Florida Airport's relatively low elevation of 481 feet, planes can take off or land at La Florida Airport 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.
