About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Eros Airport (ERS), Windhoek, Namibia and Phillips Army Airfield (APG), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,362 miles (or 11,847 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 Eros Airport and Phillips Army Airfield, 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 Eros Airport and Phillips Army Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • Because of Eros Airport's high elevation of 5,575 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ERS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ERS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Eros Airport (ERS) has 2 runways.
  • The furthest airport from Eros Airport (ERS) is PMRF Barking Sands (BKH), which is nearly antipodal to Eros Airport (meaning Eros Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from PMRF Barking Sands), and is located 12,232 miles (19,686 kilometers) away in Kekaha, Hawaii, United States.
