About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between La Florida Airport (LSC), La Serena, Chile and Whiteriver Airport (WTR), Whiteriver, Arizona, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,079 miles (or 8,174 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 La Florida Airport and Whiteriver 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 La Florida Airport and Whiteriver Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- La Florida Airport (LSC) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to La Florida Airport (LSC) is Chamonate Airfield (CPO), which is located 187 miles (301 kilometers) NNE of LSC.
- 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.
- 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.
