Nonstop flight route between Big Spring, Texas, United States and Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Webb Air Force Base Big Spring Army Airfield (BGS), Big Spring, Texas, United States and Pincher Creek Airport (WPC), Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,358 miles (or 2,185 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 Webb Air Force Base Big Spring Army Airfield and Pincher Creek Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
