Nonstop flight route between Bryan, Texas, United States and West Yellowstone, Montana, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Coulter Field (CFD), Bryan, Texas, United States and Yellowstone Airport (WYS), West Yellowstone, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,255 miles (or 2,020 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 Coulter Field and Yellowstone Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Coulter Field (CFD):

• Because of Coulter Field's relatively low elevation of 367 feet, planes can take off or land at Coulter 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.
• Coulter Field (CFD) has 2 runways.
• Coulter Field has a long history with sport parachuting.
• The furthest airport from Coulter Field (CFD) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,963 miles (17,643 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
