About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between NOLF Saufley Field (NUN), Pensacola, Florida, United States and Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport (ESR), El Salvador, Chile would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,091 miles (or 6,585 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 NOLF Saufley Field and Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo 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 NOLF Saufley Field and Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about NOLF Saufley Field (NUN):
- Because of NOLF Saufley Field's relatively low elevation of 85 feet, planes can take off or land at NOLF Saufley Field 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 its concurrent role as NOLF Saufley Field, the installation currently operates two active uncontrolled 4000 foot runways in support of Naval Aviator and Naval Flight Officer training by Training Air Wings FIVE and SIX using T-6A Texan II, T-34C Turbomentor and TH-57B/C Sea Ranger aircraft.
- NOLF Saufley Field (NUN) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to NOLF Saufley Field (NUN) is Naval Air Station PensacolaForrest Sherman Field (NPA), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) SSE of NUN.

- The furthest airport from Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport (ESR) is Liping Airport (HZH), which is nearly antipodal to Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport (meaning Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Liping Airport), and is located 12,370 miles (19,907 kilometers) away in Liping County, Guizhou, China.
- Because of Ricardo García Posada Airport El Salvador Bajo Airport's high elevation of 5,240 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ESR.
