About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Maria Cristina Airport (IGN), Baloi, Lanao del Norte, Philippines and Nellis Air Force BaseLas Vegas Air Force Base (1948) Las Vegas Army Airfield (1941)[1] McCarren Field (c. 1935)[2] (LSV), Las Vegas, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,529 miles (or 12,117 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 Maria Cristina Airport and Nellis Air Force BaseLas Vegas Air Force Base (1948) Las Vegas Army Airfield (1941)[1] McCarren Field (c. 1935)[2], 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 Maria Cristina Airport and Nellis Air Force BaseLas Vegas Air Force Base (1948) Las Vegas Army Airfield (1941)[1] McCarren Field (c. 1935)[2]. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
