Nonstop flight route between Penticton, British Columbia, Canada and Port Angeles, Washington, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Penticton Regional Airport (YYF), Penticton, British Columbia, Canada and William R. Fairchild International AirportPort Angeles Army Airfield (CLM), Port Angeles, Washington, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 200 miles (or 322 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 Penticton Regional Airport and William R. Fairchild International AirportPort Angeles Army Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
