About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Selfridge Air National Guard Base (MTC), Mount Clemens, Michigan, United States and Anggi Airport (AGD), Anggi, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,797 miles (or 14,157 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 Selfridge Air National Guard Base and Anggi 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 Selfridge Air National Guard Base and Anggi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The uncertain future of Selfridge Field, however, caused the 1st Pursuit Group to be moved to Kelly Field, Texas, shortly after its return.

- In addition to being known as "Anggi Airport", another name for AGD is "WASG".
- Because of Anggi Airport's high elevation of 7,054 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AGD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AGD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Anggi Airport (AGD) currently has only 1 runway.
