About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Orlando Executive Airport (ORL), Orlando, Florida, United States and Tachilek Airport (THL), Tachilek, Myanmar (Burma) would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,048 miles (or 14,562 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 Orlando Executive Airport and Tachilek 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 Orlando Executive Airport and Tachilek Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Orlando Executive Airport (ORL):

- Because of Orlando Executive Airport's relatively low elevation of 113 feet, planes can take off or land at Orlando Executive Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation.
