About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Duxford Aerodrome (QFO), Duxford, England, United Kingdom and Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYP), Ayacucho, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,290 miles (or 10,122 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 Duxford Aerodrome and Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte 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 Duxford Aerodrome and Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Duxford Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 125 feet, planes can take off or land at Duxford 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.
- The closest airport to Duxford Aerodrome (QFO) is Cambridge International Airport (CBG), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) NNE of QFO.
- By 1925 Duxford's three fighter squadrons had expanded to include the Gloster Grebes and Armstrong Whitworth Siskins.

- Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYP) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport's high elevation of 8,917 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AYP. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AYP a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYP) is Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYC), which is located only 0 mile (0 kilometer) N of AYP.
