About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sematan Airport (BSE), Sematan, Sarawak, Malaysia and Rentschler Heliport (EHT), East Hartford, Connecticut, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,423 miles (or 15,165 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 Sematan Airport and Rentschler Heliport, 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 Sematan Airport and Rentschler Heliport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Rentschler Heliport's relatively low elevation of 48 feet, planes can take off or land at Rentschler Heliport 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.
- During World War II, Rentschler Field was used by the Army Air Force to provide fighter coverage for the area.
