Nonstop flight route between Springfield/Chicopee, Massachusetts, United States and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Westover Air Reserve Base (CEF), Springfield/Chicopee, Massachusetts, United States and Jaffrey Airport - Silver Ranch Airpark (AFN), Jaffrey, New Hampshire, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 50 miles (or 81 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 Westover Air Reserve Base and Jaffrey Airport - Silver Ranch Airpark, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
