About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Eaker Field (DUA), Durant, Oklahoma, United States and Mafikeng Airport (MBD), Mmabatho, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,958 miles (or 14,417 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 Eaker 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 Eaker Field and Mafikeng Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Eaker Field (DUA):
- Eaker Field (DUA) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Eaker Field (DUA) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,855 miles (17,470 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Because of Eaker Field's relatively low elevation of 699 feet, planes can take off or land at Eaker 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 Durant Industrial Authority is putting the new airport terminal building design for Eaker Field up for bid.
- The closest airport to Eaker Field (DUA) is North Texas Regional Airport (PNX), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SW of DUA.
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.
- Mafikeng Airport (MBD) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Mafikeng Airport (MBD) is Kalaupapa Airport (LUP), which is nearly antipodal to Mafikeng Airport (meaning Mafikeng Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kalaupapa Airport), and is located 12,081 miles (19,443 kilometers) away in Kalaupapa, Hawaii, United States.
- 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".
