About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between General Pico Airport (GPO), General Pico, La Pampa, Argentina and Ta'if Regional Airport (TIF), Ta'if, Saudi Arabia would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,849 miles (or 12,632 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 General Pico Airport and Ta'if Regional 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 General Pico Airport and Ta'if Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about General Pico Airport (GPO):
- Because of General Pico Airport's relatively low elevation of 456 feet, planes can take off or land at General Pico 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.
- General Pico Airport (GPO) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to General Pico Airport (GPO) is Santa Rosa Airport (RSA), which is located 68 miles (110 kilometers) SSW of GPO.
