Nonstop flight route between College Station, Texas, United States and Baguio City, Philippines:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Easterwood Airport (CLL), College Station, Texas, United States and Loakan Airport (BAG), Baguio City, Philippines would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,366 miles (or 13,464 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 Easterwood Airport and Loakan 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 Easterwood Airport and Loakan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• In May 1940 the airport opened, named for Navy Lt.
• The airport is equipped with two 5,150-foot runways, one 7,000-foot paved, all weather runway, an approach lighting system, an FAA control tower, FAA radio communication and an OmniRange-ILS Navigation Aid.
• In 1948 a large hangar was relocated to the airfield from a US Army flying field near Corsicana, Texas.
• The closest airport to Easterwood Airport (CLL) is Coulter Field (CFD), which is located only 9 miles (14 kilometers) NNE of CLL.
• The first control tower was erected at the Airport in 1952 and a commercial passenger terminal was constructed in 1957.
• Because of Easterwood Airport's relatively low elevation of 321 feet, planes can take off or land at Easterwood Airport 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 furthest airport from Easterwood Airport (CLL) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,968 miles (17,652 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

• Because of Loakan Airport's high elevation of 4,251 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BAG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BAG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Loakan Airport", another name for BAG is "Paliparan ng Loakan Pagtayaban ti Loakan".
