About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Frutillar Airport (FRT), Frutillar, Chile and Andersen Air Force Base (UAM), Agana, Guam would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,467 miles (or 15,235 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 Frutillar Airport and Andersen Air Force Base, 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 Frutillar Airport and Andersen Air Force Base. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Frutillar Airport's relatively low elevation of 469 feet, planes can take off or land at Frutillar 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.
- The furthest airport from Frutillar Airport (FRT) is Wuhai Airport (WUA), which is nearly antipodal to Frutillar Airport (meaning Frutillar Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Wuhai Airport), and is located 12,344 miles (19,866 kilometers) away in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia, China.

- With the start of Operation Arc Light in June 1965, B-52s and KC-135s began regular bombing missions over Vietnam, and continued in that capacity until 1973, with a break between August 1970 and early 1972.
