About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore and Eskişehir Anadolu Airport (AOE), Eskişehir, Turkey would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,269 miles (or 8,479 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Eskişehir Anadolu 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Eskişehir Anadolu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA):
- Prior to Singapore's independence, it was a flying Royal Air Force station known as RAF Tengah.
- Because of Tengah Air Base (TAB)'s relatively low elevation of 50 feet, planes can take off or land at Tengah Air Base (TAB) 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.
