Nonstop flight route between Lander, Wyoming, United States and Port Bailey, Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States and Port Bailey Seaplane Base (KPY), Port Bailey, Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,161 miles (or 3,478 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 Hunt Field and Port Bailey Seaplane Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Hunt Field's high elevation of 5,587 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LND. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LND a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Hunt Field (LND) is Riverton Regional Airport (RIW), which is located 22 miles (35 kilometers) NE of LND.
• Hunt Field (LND) currently has only 1 runway.
