About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Travis Air Force Base Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield (SUU), Fairfield, California, United States and Hope Aerodrome (YHE), Hope, British Columbia, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 768 miles (or 1,235 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 relatively short distance between Travis Air Force Base Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield and Hope Aerodrome, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Travis Air Force Base Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield (SUU):

  • Situated in the San Francisco Bay Area and known as the "Gateway to the Pacific", Travis Air Force Base handles more cargo and passenger traffic through its airport than any other military air terminal in the United States.
  • In addition, the base's former Strategic Air Command Alert Facility is now a U.S.
  • Despite its plans, Fourth Air Force never officially occupied the base.
  • In addition to being known as "Travis Air Force Base Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield", another name for SUU is "Travis AFB".
  • Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield
  • On 1 May 1949, the Strategic Air Command became the parent major command for Travis AFB, turning it into a major long-range reconnaissance and intercontinental bombing installation for the 9th Bomb Group/9th Bomb Wing.
