Distance & flight time from DOV

Dover Civil Air Terminal/Dover Air Force Base

DOV covers the joint-use facility combining Dover Air Force Base and the Dover Civil Air Terminal in Delaware. The Air Force base is one of the largest in the United States and serves as a critical hub for military airlift operations, including the mortuary affairs center that handles the return of fallen U.S. service members. The civil terminal portion allows limited general aviation access alongside the active military installation. DOV is not a typical commercial passenger airport; rather, it reflects the dual military-civilian arrangement common at several U.S. bases, where scheduled airline service is minimal or nonexistent, and most of the code's real-world traffic relates to defense logistics and cargo operations.
