About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Wendover Airport (ENV), Wendover, Utah, United States and Derby Airport (DRB), Derby, Western Australia, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,674 miles (or 13,960 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 Wendover Airport and Derby 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 Wendover Airport and Derby Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Wendover Airport covers an area of 1,960 acres at an elevation of 4,237 feet above mean sea level.
- Because of Wendover Airport's high elevation of 4,237 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ENV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ENV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Wendover AAF was declared surplus in 1976 and on June 16 most of the field, including the water system, was turned over to Wendover, Utah, as a municipal airport.
