About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD), Doha, Qatar and Ralph Wenz Field (PWY), Pinedale, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,593 miles (or 12,220 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 Al-Udeid Air Base and Ralph Wenz Field, 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 Al-Udeid Air Base and Ralph Wenz Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD):
- The Al Udeid Air Base now serves as a logistics, command, and basing hub for U.S.
- Following joint military operations during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Qatar and the United States concluded a Defense Cooperation Agreement that has been subsequently expanded.
- Because of Al-Udeid Air Base's relatively low elevation of 130 feet, planes can take off or land at Al-Udeid 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.
- Qatar invested over $US1 billion to construct the Al Udeid air base south of Doha during the 1990s.
- The closest airport to Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD) is Hamad International Airport (DOH), which is located 21 miles (34 kilometers) ENE of IUD.
- The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 authorizes $69.6 million in FY2009 spending to build new Air Force and Special Operations facilities.
- The furthest airport from Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is nearly antipodal to Al-Udeid Air Base (meaning Al-Udeid Air Base is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Totegegie Airport), and is located 12,021 miles (19,346 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
- In addition to being known as "Al-Udeid Air Base", other names for IUD include "قاعدة العديد الجوية" and "XJD".
- Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Ralph Wenz Field (PWY):
- The furthest airport from Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,796 miles (17,375 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- The closest airport to Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) is Miley Memorial Field (BPI), which is located 21 miles (34 kilometers) SW of PWY.
- In addition to being known as "Ralph Wenz Field", another name for PWY is "PNA".
- Ralph Wenz Field (PWY) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Ralph Wenz Field's high elevation of 7,086 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PWY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PWY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
