Nonstop flight route between Hampton, Virginia, United States and Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Langley Field (LFI), Hampton, Virginia, United States and Deniliquin Airport (DNQ), Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,153 miles (or 16,340 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 Langley Field and Deniliquin Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Langley Field and Deniliquin Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Langley Field (LFI):

• Air Transport Command
• In 1917, the new proving ground was designated Langley Field for one of America's early air pioneers, Samuel Pierpont Langley.
• The closest airport to Langley Field (LFI) is Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) WNW of LFI.
• The Air Force mission at Langley is to sustain the ability for fast global deployment and air superiority for the United States or allied armed forces.
• Langley Air Force Base was severely damaged by flooding due to the storm surge from Hurricane Isabel in September 2003 and again during the November 2009 Mid-Atlantic nor'easter.
• In 1916, the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics, predecessor to NASA, established the need for a joint airfield and proving ground for Army, Navy and NACA aircraft.
• The furthest airport from Langley Field (LFI) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,757 miles (18,921 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
• In the early 1920s, Langley became the site where the new air power concept was tried and proven.

Facts about Deniliquin Airport (DNQ):

• The closest airport to Deniliquin Airport (DNQ) is Echuca Airport (ECH), which is located 43 miles (68 kilometers) SSW of DNQ.
• Deniliquin Airport (DNQ) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Deniliquin Airport (DNQ) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Deniliquin Airport (meaning Deniliquin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,092 miles (19,461 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
• Because of Deniliquin Airport's relatively low elevation of 316 feet, planes can take off or land at Deniliquin 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.
