About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between A.P. Hill Army Airfield (APH), Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, United States and Chachoan Airport (ATF), Ambato, Ecuador would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,715 miles (or 4,370 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 A.P. Hill Army Airfield and Chachoan 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 A.P. Hill Army Airfield and Chachoan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about A.P. Hill Army Airfield (APH):
- Because of A.P. Hill Army Airfield's relatively low elevation of 220 feet, planes can take off or land at A.P. Hill Army Airfield 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 closest airport to A.P. Hill Army Airfield (APH) is Louisa County Airport (LOW), which is located 36 miles (57 kilometers) W of APH.
- A.P. Hill Army Airfield (APH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from A.P. Hill Army Airfield (APH) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,687 miles (18,808 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
Facts about Chachoan Airport (ATF):
- The closest airport to Chachoan Airport (ATF) is Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX), which is located 21 miles (34 kilometers) N of ATF.
- Because of Chachoan Airport's high elevation of 8,502 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ATF. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ATF a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Chachoan Airport", another name for ATF is "Aeropuerto Chachoan".
- The furthest airport from Chachoan Airport (ATF) is Pinang Kampai Airport (DUM), which is nearly antipodal to Chachoan Airport (meaning Chachoan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Pinang Kampai Airport), and is located 12,409 miles (19,971 kilometers) away in Dumai, Sumatra, Indonesia.
