About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cap Skirring Airport (CSK), Cap Skirring, Senegal and Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO), Clayton, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,514 miles (or 8,874 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 Cap Skirring Airport and Clayton Municipal Airpark, 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 Cap Skirring Airport and Clayton Municipal Airpark. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cap Skirring Airport (CSK):
- Because of Cap Skirring Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Cap Skirring 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 closest airport to Cap Skirring Airport (CSK) is Ziguinchor Airport (ZIG), which is located 33 miles (53 kilometers) ENE of CSK.
- The furthest airport from Cap Skirring Airport (CSK) is Kirakira Airport (IRA), which is nearly antipodal to Cap Skirring Airport (meaning Cap Skirring Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kirakira Airport), and is located 12,273 miles (19,752 kilometers) away in Kirakira, Makira Island, Solomon Islands.
