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 Francis S. Gabreski Airport and Sihanoukvill International Airportអាកាសយានដ្ឋានអន្តរជាតិក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ Aéroport International de Sihanoukville, 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 Francis S. Gabreski Airport and Sihanoukvill International Airportអាកាសយានដ្ឋានអន្តរជាតិក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ Aéroport International de Sihanoukville. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
