About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yecheon Air Base (YEC), Yecheon, South Korea and Laduani Airstrip (LDO), Ladouanie, Suriname would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,593 miles (or 15,439 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 Yecheon Air Base and Laduani Airstrip, 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 Yecheon Air Base and Laduani Airstrip. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Curbelo International Airport), and is located 12,208 miles (19,646 kilometers) away in Maldonado/Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay.
- Because of Yecheon Air Base's relatively low elevation of 354 feet, planes can take off or land at Yecheon Air 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.
