[QUOTE="prodromos, post: 74906086, member: 19467"] You obviously haven't bothered to read the details in the corners of the map. It explains how distorted the map is due to being a projection of the globe (reality) onto a flat surface. It even explains that most flights would not be straight lines but would follow the great circle path. Evidence for flat earth? No. Evidence for globe earth? Yes. Evidence of stupidity of flat earth arguments? Absolutely. This stupidity was put to rest in the other thread. Direct flights between Sydney and Santiago are shorter than flights between Sydney and Los Angeles. Commercial flights go where the traffic is highest, otherwise they don't make money. They also try to follow land masses as much as possible for safety reasons as there aren't many airstrips in the middle of the ocean for emergency landings. Most of the times passenger jets have been forced to make water landings have been disastrous, the Hudson river landing being one of the few exceptions. As noted on the WW2 map you posted above, most flights take the great circle path. [/QUOTE]
