About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Forbes Field (FOE), Topeka, Kansas, United States and Moosonee Airport (YMO), Moosonee, Ontario, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 750 miles (or 1,208 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 Forbes Field and Moosonee Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Forbes Field (FOE):
- In 1903, Pittsburgh Pirates' owner Barney Dreyfuss began to look for ground to build a larger capacity replacement for the team's then-current home, Exposition Park.
- In addition to being known as "Forbes Field", another name for FOE is ""The House of Thrills""The Old Lady of Schenley Park""The Orchard of Oakland" [1]".
- Forbes Field's ivy-covered walls featured no advertising, except a 32-foot United States Marine Corps billboard during the 1943 season.
- Although Forbes Field developed a reputation as a "pitcher-friendly" ballpark, there was never a no-hitter thrown in the more than 4,700 games at the stadium.
- In 1947, well after Dreyfuss' death, and upon the arrival of veteran slugger Hank Greenberg, the bullpens were moved from foul territory to the base of the scoreboard in left field and were fenced in, cutting 30 feet from the left field area, from 365 feet to 335 feet down the line and 406 feet to 376 feet in left-center field.
- The furthest airport from Forbes Field (FOE) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,496 miles (18,501 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- The closest airport to Forbes Field (FOE) is Allegheny County Airport (AGC), which is located only 6 miles (10 kilometers) SSE of FOE.
- In 1925, the right field grandstand was extended into the corner and into fair territory, reducing the foul line distance from 376 feet to 300 feet.
- Meanwhile, the original location of that wall is outlined by bricks extending from the left-center field wall across Roberto Clemente Drive and into the sidewalk.
Facts about Moosonee Airport (YMO):

- The furthest airport from Moosonee Airport (YMO) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,002 miles (17,706 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
