Nonstop flight route between Beirut, Lebanon and Lander, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Beirut Air Base (BEY), Beirut, Lebanon and Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,679 miles (or 10,749 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 Beirut Air Base and Hunt Field, 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 Beirut Air Base and Hunt Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Beirut Air Base (BEY):

• The closest airport to Beirut Air Base (BEY) is Kiryat Shmona Airport (KSW), which is located 42 miles (68 kilometers) S of BEY.
• In addition to being known as "Beirut Air Base", another name for BEY is "قاعدة بيروت الجوية".
• After the formation of the air force, the Beirut Air Base was established in 1950.
• The military base is currently the home of the Tenth Squadron and Eleventh Squadron, which operate Bell UH-1H Hueys.
• Because of Beirut Air Base's relatively low elevation of 87 feet, planes can take off or land at Beirut Air Base 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.
• Currently, the Lebanese Air Force occupies part of the west end of the Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport and has been the base of most of the helicopter force for almost 50 years, which include the Hawker Hunters, Fouga Magisters and other aircraft during certain periods.

• Hunt Field (LND) currently has only 1 runway.
