About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Man Airport (MJC), Man, Côte d'Ivoire and Roben-Hood Airport (WBR), Big Rapids, Michigan, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,269 miles (or 8,479 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 Man Airport and Roben-Hood 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 Man Airport and Roben-Hood Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Roben-Hood Airport's relatively low elevation of 990 feet, planes can take off or land at Roben-Hood 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.
- In contrast to this decline, a new contingent of aviators became active at the airport, and increased the level of interest in that facility.
