Nonstop flight route between Halls Creek, Western Australia, Australia and Agana, Guam:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Halls Creek Airport (HCQ), Halls Creek, Western Australia, Australia and Andersen Air Force Base (UAM), Agana, Guam would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,493 miles (or 4,012 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 Halls Creek Airport and Andersen Air Force Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
