About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lake City Gateway Airport (LCQ), Lake City, Florida, United States and Marin County Airport (NOT), Novato, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,332 miles (or 3,753 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 Marin County Airport, 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.
- Lake City Gateway Airport is a city owned, public use airport located three nautical miles east of the central business district of Lake City, in Columbia County, Florida, United States.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Facts about Marin County Airport (NOT):
- In addition to being known as "Marin County Airport", other names for NOT include "Gnoss Field" and "DVO".
- Typical left traffic pattern 13 landings during high crosswinds are flown through varying rotor wind turbulence on the backside of Burdell Mountain and a relatively constant crosswind near the ground.
- There is a plan to extend the length of Gnoss' runway by 1100', to 4400'.
- The typical Gnoss Field crosswind landing conditions on runway 31 are a stronger than reported headwind on right base and, in a typical training aircraft, a slight amount of wind shear about 100 feet before the runway 31 threshold, settling down to a steady crosswind - but then adding to a slight headwind component, just past the near west side hangars.
- The closest airport to Marin County Airport (NOT) is Napa County Airport (APC), which is located only 16 miles (25 kilometers) ENE of NOT.
- Marin County Airport (NOT) currently has only 1 runway.
- The airport was opened by the Wright family just after World War II to serve the thousands of ex-military pilots expected to be flying after the war.
- Because of Marin County Airport's relatively low elevation of 2 feet, planes can take off or land at Marin County 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.
- The furthest airport from Marin County Airport (NOT) is Tôlanaro Airport (FTU), which is located 11,343 miles (18,254 kilometers) away in Tôlanaro, Madagascar.
