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 Hatbox FieldHatbox Army Airfield and Bacău "George Enescu" International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.
