Nonstop flight route between Mokuleia, Hawaii, United States and Truckee, California, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Dillingham Airfield (HDH), Mokuleia, Hawaii, United States and Truckee Tahoe Airport (TKF), Truckee, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,551 miles (or 4,105 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 Dillingham Airfield and Truckee Tahoe Airport, 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 Dillingham Airfield and Truckee Tahoe Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• A communications station called Camp Kawaihapai was established here in 1922 on 67 acres along the Oahu Railway and Land Company line.
• Because of Dillingham Airfield's relatively low elevation of 14 feet, planes can take off or land at Dillingham Airfield 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.
• Dillingham Airfield (HDH) currently has only 1 runway.
• The television series Lost filmed several scenes at Dillingham Airfield, due to its remote location close to the North Shore, where the series was primarily filmed.
• The runway was paved, extended to 9,000 feet long, and a crosswind runway added from 1942-1945.
