About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Barkley Regional Airport (PAH), Paducah, Kentucky, United States and Taos Regional Airport (TSM), Taos, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 935 miles (or 1,505 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 Barkley Regional Airport and Taos Regional Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Barkley Regional Airport (PAH):
- Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) has 2 runways.
- The airport also serves the area around Kentucky Lake.
- Barkley Regional Airport is a public use airport located 12 nautical miles west of the central business district of Paducah, a city in McCracken County, Kentucky, United States.
- The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.
- Because of Barkley Regional Airport's relatively low elevation of 410 feet, planes can take off or land at Barkley Regional Airport 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.
- Barkley Regional Airport covers an area of 1,018 acres at an elevation of 410 feet above mean sea level.
- The closest airport to Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) is Murray-Calloway County Airport (CEY), which is located 35 miles (57 kilometers) SE of PAH.
