About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between George Town Aerodrome (GEE), George Town, Tasmania, Australia and Celle Air Base (ZCN), Celle, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,285 miles (or 16,552 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 George Town Aerodrome and Celle Air Base, 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 George Town Aerodrome and Celle Air Base. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about George Town Aerodrome (GEE):

  • The closest airport to George Town Aerodrome (GEE) is Devonport Airport (DPO), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) WSW of GEE.
  • The furthest airport from George Town Aerodrome (GEE) is Corvo Airport (CVU), which is nearly antipodal to George Town Aerodrome (meaning George Town Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Corvo Airport), and is located 12,292 miles (19,781 kilometers) away in Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal.
  • Because of George Town Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 131 feet, planes can take off or land at George Town 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.
  • George Town Aerodrome (GEE) has 3 runways.

Facts about Celle Air Base (ZCN):

  • Following the move of its transport wings, the German Air Force did not station any flying units at Celle Air Base.
  • On 9 March 1935 Hermann Göring officially announced the existence of a German Air Force and the D.L.V.
  • The closest airport to Celle Air Base (ZCN) is Hannover Airport (HAJ), which is located only 17 miles (27 kilometers) WSW of ZCN.
  • At the same time, Celle residents began to complain about the so-called “Veronikas″, German women attracted to the well paid soldiers.
  • In addition to being known as "Celle Air Base", other names for ZCN include "Heeresflugplatz Celle" and "(Advanced Landing Ground B-118)".
  • Celle Air Base (ZCN) currently has only 1 runway.
  • With the beginning of the Berlin Airlift in 1948 this, however, changed radically.
  • The furthest airport from Celle Air Base (ZCN) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,761 miles (18,928 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • Because of Celle Air Base's relatively low elevation of 129 feet, planes can take off or land at Celle Air Base 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.
