Nonstop flight route between Lasham, England, United Kingdom and Kerio Valley, Kenya:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Lasham Airfield (QLA), Lasham, England, United Kingdom and Kimwarer Airport (KRV), Kerio Valley, Kenya would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,114 miles (or 6,621 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 Lasham Airfield and Kimwarer 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 Lasham Airfield and Kimwarer Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Lasham Airfield (QLA):

• In mid-1943, the airfield was transferred to RAF Fighter Command.
• Lasham Airfield (QLA) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Lasham Airfield's relatively low elevation of 618 feet, planes can take off or land at Lasham 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.
• It was built in 1942 and was a RAF Station during the Second World War, many significant operations being flown from it.
• The closest airport to Lasham Airfield (QLA) is RAF Odiham (ODH), which is located only 5 miles (8 kilometers) NE of QLA.
