About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Celle Air Base (ZCN), Celle, Germany and Vladivostok International Airport (VVO), Vladivostok, Russia would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,966 miles (or 7,993 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 Celle Air Base and Vladivostok International 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 Celle Air Base and Vladivostok International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Celle Air Base (ZCN):
- With the beginning of the Berlin Airlift in 1948 this, however, changed radically.
- After exhaustive construction works, during which the boggy terrain was drained by creating several ditches, the flying school entered service in 1934.
- In the course of time, the type of aircraft stationed at Celle became larger and larger and crews were trained on almost all current military aircraft.
- Because of Celle Air Base's relatively low elevation of 129 feet, planes can take off or land at Celle 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.
- In addition to being known as "Celle Air Base", other names for ZCN include "Heeresflugplatz Celle" and "(Advanced Landing Ground B-118)".
