Nonstop flight route between Panama City, Florida, United States and Coromandel, New Zealand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tyndall Air Force Base (PAM), Panama City, Florida, United States and Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV), Coromandel, New Zealand would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,880 miles (or 12,682 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 Tyndall Air Force Base and Coromandel Aerodrome, 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 Tyndall Air Force Base and Coromandel Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV):

• Because of Coromandel Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Coromandel Aerodrome 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.
• Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV) currently has only 1 runway.
