Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
KSTP to KSGS, 4.5 nm and KGSP to KGMU, 6.8 nm. Both in a jet, they make for quick flights.

CYNJ-CYPK, 8nm. Zero cruise time, as soon as I'm clear of Langley's zone I'm starting my approach in to Pitt Meadows.
KBLI-CYXX, 16 nm. Shortest international flight.

Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find in this business

I have done the same trip several times, but it took me a bit longer.EHRD - EHAM
However when I was based at EHVB it was even closer to Rotterdam.

Big Trout Lake to Angling Lake. 11.4NM
And YVR - YCD in the Q400, fastest I've ever done it was 8 min air time.

CCN3 to Linden Airstrip. About 10nm in a 182RG... barely had the landing gear up for more than 2 minutes. The start checks and engine run-up took about twice as long as the flight!

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
King City to Maple < 4 nm. Lots of folks did it, especially if no gas at one or the other. But KC is now a construction equipment parking lot while Maple is a housing development. Buttonville and Downsview to follow?

From the end of the runway to where the airplane landed: about 2500 meters
