About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Dillingham Airfield (HDH), Mokuleia, Hawaii, United States and Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,235 miles (or 5,207 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 Dillingham Airfield and Albuquerque International Sunport, 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 Dillingham Airfield and Albuquerque International Sunport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Dillingham Airfield (HDH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Dillingham Airfield's relatively low elevation of 14 feet, planes can take off or land at Dillingham Airfield 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.
- The closest airport to Dillingham Airfield (HDH) is Wheeler AAF (HHI), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) ESE of HDH.
- The furthest airport from Dillingham Airfield (HDH) is Ghanzi Airport (GNZ), which is nearly antipodal to Dillingham Airfield (meaning Dillingham Airfield is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ghanzi Airport), and is located 12,425 miles (19,995 kilometers) away in Ghanzi, Botswana.
- The television series Lost filmed several scenes at Dillingham Airfield, due to its remote location close to the North Shore, where the series was primarily filmed.
