About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ), Lake City, Florida, United States and J. F. Mitchell Airport (BQU), Bequia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,806 miles (or 2,907 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 Lake City Gateway Airport and J. F. Mitchell Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ):
- The furthest airport from Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ) is Shark Bay Airport (MJK), which is located 11,409 miles (18,361 kilometers) away in Monkey Mia, Western Australia, Australia.
- Although the Navy departed Lake City over 60 years ago, its comparatively long main runway, operational Non-Federal Air Traffic Control Tower, and minimal air traffic makes it a popular location for transient P-3C Orions from NAS Jacksonville and HC-130 Hercules and A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft from Moody AFB to practice approaches and touch-and-go landings.
- Because of Lake City Gateway Airport's relatively low elevation of 201 feet, planes can take off or land at Lake City Gateway Airport 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.
