About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Northeastern Regional Airport (EDE), Edenton, North Carolina, United States and City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS), Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,550 miles (or 2,494 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 Northeastern Regional Airport and City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Northeastern Regional Airport (EDE):
- Because of Northeastern Regional Airport's relatively low elevation of 20 feet, planes can take off or land at Northeastern Regional 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.
- Northeastern Regional Airport (EDE) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Northeastern Regional Airport (EDE) is Elizabeth City Regional Airport (ECG), which is located 27 miles (44 kilometers) NE of EDE.
- Following World War II, the installation was redesignated as Naval Auxiliary Air Station Edenton and was operationally administered by Marine Air Base Squadron 14, hosting Marine Corps fighter squadrons flying the F9F-2 Panther and attack squadrons flying the AD-4B and AD-5 Skyraider during the Korean War and early years of the Cold War.
