About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mountain Home Air Force Base (MUO), Mountain Home, Idaho, United States and Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH), Hawthorne, Nevada, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 343 miles (or 552 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 Mountain Home Air Force Base and Hawthorne Industrial Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Mountain Home Air Force Base (MUO):
- In early May 1953, the major construction on the base was completed, and SAC was able to use its long runway for strategic bomber operations.
- Senator George McGovern was a pilot in the USAAF, and did his second stage of B-24 training here.
- Beginning in 1968, the 67th also conducted tactical fighter operations with the addition of a squadron of F-4D Phantom IIs.
- In addition to being known as "Mountain Home Air Force Base", another name for MUO is "Mountain Home AFB".
- Crews started building the base in November 1942 and the new field officially opened on 7 August 1943.

- The furthest airport from Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH) is Pierrefonds Airport (ZSE), which is located 11,196 miles (18,017 kilometers) away in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.
- Because of Hawthorne Industrial Airport's high elevation of 4,215 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HTH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HTH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH) has 2 runways.
