Nonstop flight route between Goldsboro, North Carolina, United States and Casper, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Seymour Johnson Air Force Base (GSB), Goldsboro, North Carolina, United States and Casper–Natrona County International AirportCasper Army Airfield (CPR), Casper, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,606 miles (or 2,584 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 Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and Casper–Natrona County International AirportCasper Army Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
