About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between La Grande-4 Airport (YAH), Northern Quebec, Canada and Stewart International Airport (SWF), Newburgh, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 847 miles (or 1,363 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 La Grande-4 Airport and Stewart International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Stewart International Airport (SWF):
- Whether the properties along Drury could even be developed in any measure remains to be seen, as a good portion of that parcel is either wetlands or a 45-acre trapezoid-shaped Runway Protection Zone in which the FAA mandates that nothing be built, and the remainder is land considered by conservationists to be the best land in the properties.
- SWF had occasionally had scheduled air-taxi service, but in April 1990 American Airlines arrived with three 727-200 nonstops a day to Chicago and three more to their new hub in Raleigh–Durham.
- Stewart International Airport (SWF) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Stewart International Airport (SWF) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,712 miles (18,848 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- Also generating a lot of noise was the continuing debate in Orange County about what to do with the land, with participants' choice of words suggesting where they stood, and interpretations differing about just how much of the land was really meant to serve as a buffer.
- Developed in the 1930s as a military base to allow cadets at the nearby United States Military Academy at West Point to learn aviation, it has grown into the major passenger airport for the mid-Hudson region and continues as a military airfield, housing the 105th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard and Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 of the United States Marine Corps Reserve.
- Because of Stewart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 491 feet, planes can take off or land at Stewart International 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.
