About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Woodward Field (CDN), Camden, South Carolina, United States and Mafikeng Airport (MBD), Mmabatho, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,073 miles (or 12,993 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 Woodward Field and Mafikeng 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 Woodward Field and Mafikeng Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Woodward Field (CDN):
- Woodward Field covers an area of 396 acres at an elevation of 302 feet above mean sea level.
- Because of Woodward Field's relatively low elevation of 302 feet, planes can take off or land at Woodward Field 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 Woodward Field (CDN) is Shaw Air Force Base (SSC), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SSE of CDN.
- In 1941 the United States Army Air Forces indicated a need for the airfield as a training airfield.

Facts about Mafikeng Airport (MBD):
- The closest airport to Mafikeng Airport (MBD) is Lobatse Airport (LOQ), which is located 43 miles (70 kilometers) NNE of MBD.
- Because of Mafikeng Airport's high elevation of 4,181 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Mafikeng Airport", another name for MBD is "Mmabatho Airport".
- Mafikeng Airport (MBD) currently has only 1 runway.
