About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ainsworth Regional Airport (ANW), Ainsworth, Nebraska, United States and Isle of Man Airport (IOM), Ronaldsway, Isle of Man, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,111 miles (or 6,616 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 Ainsworth Regional Airport and Isle of Man 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 Ainsworth Regional Airport and Isle of Man Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • The primary objective of this facility was to train air crews of 540th and 543rd Bombardment Squadrons of the 383d Bombardment Group based at Rapid City Army Airfield for training with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft before being sent to the European Theater.
  • Aircraft camouflage experiments were conducted at the field.
  • The closest airport to Ainsworth Regional Airport (ANW) is Miller Field (VTN), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) NW of ANW.

  • Because of Isle of Man Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Isle of Man Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation.
