About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ), Lake City, Florida, United States and Mission Field (LVM), Livingston, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,844 miles (or 2,967 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 Mission Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ):
- Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ) has 2 runways.
- The airport was originally built by the U.S.
- Lake City Gateway Airport covers an area of 1,250 acres at an elevation of 201 feet above mean sea level.
- The closest airport to Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ) is Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV), which is located 39 miles (62 kilometers) SSE of LCQ.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Facts about Mission Field (LVM):
- The closest airport to Mission Field (LVM) is Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) W of LVM.
- Because of Mission Field's high elevation of 4,659 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LVM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LVM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Mission Field (LVM) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,610 miles (17,075 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
