It's currently over Sudan nearly finishing the 16hrs non stop flight from the US, a flight of about 15,000km. Landing at 11.26am. You can track it on www.flightradar24.com as flight KQA787.

One would think that the shortest route to the US is via west africa i.e drawing a straight line from Nairobi to Everett, US. But the shortest route is via Greenland and Iceland since the earth is a globe.

Yes it's the one....but they seem to have stopped kidogo at the end of the run way, at the last turn...maybe checking a few things after the record non stop flight before they taxi to where you are...
