Nonstop flight route between Battle Mountain, Nevada, United States and Blytheville, Arkansas, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Battle Mountain Airport (BAM), Battle Mountain, Nevada, United States and Arkansas International Airport (BYH), Blytheville, Arkansas, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,489 miles (or 2,397 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 Battle Mountain Airport and Arkansas International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Battle Mountain Airport (BAM):

• Several aerospace exhibits are available at the airport.
• Because of Battle Mountain Airport's high elevation of 4,532 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The airport was built by the United States Army Air Forces about 1942, and was known as Battle Mountain Flight Strip.
• Battle Mountain Airport (BAM) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Battle Mountain Airport (BAM) is Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE), which is located 11,030 miles (17,752 kilometers) away in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.
