Nonstop flight route between Everett, Washington, United States and Den Helder, Netherlands:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Paine Field (PAE), Everett, Washington, United States and De Kooy Airfield (DHR), Den Helder, Netherlands would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,809 miles (or 7,740 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 Paine Field and De Kooy Airfield, 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 Paine Field and De Kooy Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Paine Field (PAE):

• Because of Paine Field's relatively low elevation of 606 feet, planes can take off or land at Paine 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 addition to being known as "Paine Field", another name for PAE is "Snohomish County Airport".
• Paine Field was originally constructed in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project.
• The closest airport to Paine Field (PAE) is Kenmore Air (KEH), which is located only 11 miles (17 kilometers) S of PAE.
• The FAA-operated control tower maintains limited hours, operating only between 7 AM and 9 PM local time.
• The FAA in June 2008, in receipt of correspondence between Allegiant Air and Snohomish County and county executives, wrote the airport authority to reiterate that a recipient of federal FAA grants requires the County to not discriminate against commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public, or risk an enforcement action under FAR 16.
• In late 2005, construction of the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour building was completed.
• On February 5, 2013, the cities of Edmonds and Mukilteo, along with two individuals, filed notice with the 9th U.S.

• Because of De Kooy Airfield's relatively low elevation of 4 feet, planes can take off or land at De Kooy Airfield 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.
• The oil fields in the North Sea will eventually be depleted and when that happens the airport would lose most of its helicopter movements and thus alternative markets are being looked at, such as business and holiday flights.
• De Kooy Airfield (DHR) currently has only 1 runway.
