Nonstop flight route between Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States and Uvalde, Texas, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Los Alamos Airport (LAM), Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States and Garner Field (UVA), Uvalde, Texas, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 597 miles (or 961 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 Los Alamos Airport and Garner Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Los Alamos Airport (LAM):

• Los Alamos Airport (LAM) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Los Alamos Airport (LAM) is Ohkay Owingeh Airport (ESO), which is located only 16 miles (26 kilometers) NE of LAM.
• In addition to being known as "Los Alamos Airport", another name for LAM is "Los Alamos County Airport".
• Because of Los Alamos Airport's high elevation of 7,171 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Because of the restricted airspace immediately to the south of the runway, and the noise-sensitive residential area just west of the runway, Los Alamos Airport employs a non-standard traffic pattern.
• The furthest airport from Los Alamos Airport (LAM) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,157 miles (17,956 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

Facts about Garner Field (UVA):

• The furthest airport from Garner Field (UVA) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,192 miles (18,012 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Inactivated on 30 June 1945 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program.
• Because of Garner Field's relatively low elevation of 942 feet, planes can take off or land at Garner Field 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.
• The closest airport to Garner Field (UVA) is South Texas Regional Airport at Hondo (HDO), which is located 36 miles (57 kilometers) ENE of UVA.
• Garner Field (UVA) currently has only 1 runway.
