About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Creech Air Force Base Indian Springs Auxiliary Army Airfield (1961) Indian Springs Air Force Base (1951) Indian Springs Army Airfield Indian Springs Airport eponyms: Indian Springs, Nevada &Wilbur L. Creech[1] (INS), Indian Springs, Nevada, United States and Kremenchuk (Velyka Kokhnivka) Airport (KHU), Kremenchuk, Ukraine would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,220 miles (or 10,010 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 Creech Air Force Base Indian Springs Auxiliary Army Airfield (1961) Indian Springs Air Force Base (1951) Indian Springs Army Airfield Indian Springs Airport eponyms: Indian Springs, Nevada &Wilbur L. Creech[1] and Kremenchuk (Velyka Kokhnivka) Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Creech[1] and Kremenchuk (Velyka Kokhnivka) Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
