Nonstop flight route between Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States and Kaolack, Senegal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport (LMT), Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States and Kaolack Airport (KLC), Kaolack, Senegal would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,338 miles (or 10,200 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 Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport and Kaolack 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 Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport and Kaolack Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport is in Klamath County, Oregon five miles southeast of Klamath Falls, which owns it.
• Because of Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport's high elevation of 4,095 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LMT. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LMT a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In 1954 the airport was selected as a site for U.S.
• Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport (LMT) has 2 runways.
• The closest airport to Crater Lake- Klamath Regional Airport (LMT) is Chiloquin State Airport (CHZ), which is located 30 miles (49 kilometers) NNW of LMT.
