Nonstop flight route between Wahiawa, Hawaii, United States and Austin, Nevada, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wheeler AAF (HHI), Wahiawa, Hawaii, United States and Austin Airport (ASQ), Austin, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,700 miles (or 4,346 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 Wheeler AAF and Austin 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 Wheeler AAF and Austin Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Wheeler AAF (HHI):

• The 15th Air Base Squadron inactivated at Wheeler on 31 October 1991, one day before the U.S.
• Because of Wheeler AAF's relatively low elevation of 843 feet, planes can take off or land at Wheeler AAF 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.
• On 24 February 1952, the 1508th Support Squadron was organized to provide administrative and logistical support to activities at Wheeler AFB.
• In October 1922, the photo section and intelligence units were returned to Luke Field.
• Wheeler AFB-cum-Wheeler AAF is delineated for statistical purposes as a census-designated place.
• The furthest airport from Wheeler AAF (HHI) is Ghanzi Airport (GNZ), which is nearly antipodal to Wheeler AAF (meaning Wheeler AAF is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ghanzi Airport), and is located 12,413 miles (19,976 kilometers) away in Ghanzi, Botswana.
• The closest airport to Wheeler AAF (HHI) is Dillingham Airfield (HDH), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) WNW of HHI.

• Because of Austin Airport's high elevation of 5,735 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ASQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ASQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Austin Airport", other names for ASQ include "KTMT" and "TMT".
• The furthest airport from Austin Airport (ASQ) is Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE), which is located 11,109 miles (17,879 kilometers) away in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.
