Nonstop flight route between Mammoth Lakes, California, United States and Newburgh, New York, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH), Mammoth Lakes, California, United States and Stewart International Airport (SWF), Newburgh, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,371 miles (or 3,816 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 Mammoth Yosemite Airport and Stewart International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Mammoth Yosemite Airport's high elevation of 7,135 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MMH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MMH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The airport covers 230 acres at an elevation of 7,135 feet.
• The closest airport to Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) is Eastern Sierra Regional AirportBishop Army Airfield (BIH), which is located 31 miles (50 kilometers) ESE of MMH.
• Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) currently has only 1 runway.
