About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Santa Cruz Air Force Base (SNZ), Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Caviahue Airport (CVH), Caviahue, Neuquén, Argentina would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,914 miles (or 3,081 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 Santa Cruz Air Force Base and Caviahue Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Santa Cruz Air Force Base (SNZ):
- In addition to being known as "Santa Cruz Air Force Base", another name for SNZ is "Base Aérea de Santa Cruz".
- The furthest airport from Santa Cruz Air Force Base (SNZ) is Central Field (Iwo Jima)Motoyama No. 2Airfield No. 2 (IWO), which is nearly antipodal to Santa Cruz Air Force Base (meaning Santa Cruz Air Force Base is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Central Field (Iwo Jima)Motoyama No. 2Airfield No. 2), and is located 12,093 miles (19,462 kilometers) away in Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands, Japan.
- The base is located 54 km from Rio de Janeiro downtown in the district of Santa Cruz.
- The closest airport to Santa Cruz Air Force Base (SNZ) is Rio de Janeiro/Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG), which is located 31 miles (50 kilometers) ENE of SNZ.
- Because of Santa Cruz Air Force Base's relatively low elevation of 10 feet, planes can take off or land at Santa Cruz Air Force Base 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.
- Santa Cruz Air Force Base (SNZ) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Caviahue Airport (CVH):
- The closest airport to Caviahue Airport (CVH) is Chos Malal Airport (HOS), which is located 51 miles (83 kilometers) ENE of CVH.
- Caviahue Airport (CVH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Caviahue Airport's high elevation of 5,446 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CVH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CVH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Caviahue Airport (CVH) is Yan'an Airport (ENY), which is nearly antipodal to Caviahue Airport (meaning Caviahue Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Yan'an Airport), and is located 12,347 miles (19,871 kilometers) away in Yan'an, Shaanxi, China.
