About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Toussus-le-Noble Airport (TNF), Toussus-le-Noble, France and Mafeteng Airport (MFC), Mafeteng, Lesotho would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,645 miles (or 9,085 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 Toussus-le-Noble Airport and Mafeteng 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 Toussus-le-Noble Airport and Mafeteng Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Toussus-le-Noble Airport's relatively low elevation of 538 feet, planes can take off or land at Toussus-le-Noble Airport 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 Toussus-le-Noble Airport (TNF) is Paris Orly Airport (ORY), which is located only 13 miles (20 kilometers) E of TNF.
- It was seized by the Germans in June 1940 during the Battle of France, and was used by Sturzkampfgeschwader 77, a Luftwaffe dive bombing wing, during the Battle of Britain flying Junkers Ju 87 "Stukas" and later Dornier Do 17 light bombers between December 1940 and March 1941.
