Nonstop flight route between Augusta, Georgia, United States and Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field (AGS), Augusta, Georgia, United States and Francis E. Warren Air Force Base (FEW), Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,364 miles (or 2,195 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 Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field and Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
