About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between McEntire Joint National Guard Base Marine Corps Auxiliary Airfield CongareeCongaree Army Airfield (MMT), Eastover, South Carolina, United States and Daniel Field (DNL), Augusta, Georgia, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 78 miles (or 125 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 McEntire Joint National Guard Base Marine Corps Auxiliary Airfield CongareeCongaree Army Airfield and Daniel Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
