Airplanes on a Flat Earth.

If you are in Japan going to California, (Or Vice Versa,) then you would fly East right? But if you were in Boston going to Europe, you would fly West. What can explain this?

Hmmm... Yes. But what I was trying to say was that the airplane is flying around the Earth. And we do know that to get from California to Japan, you do fly West. So... This would say that the Earth is round.
I'm just trying to see how you guys think.

Thanks to Tom Bishop for his courtesy.

No flat map can predict commercial airline flight times among New York, Paris, Cape Town, & Buenos Aires.

The FAQ Sun animation does not work with sundials. And it has the equinox sun set toward Seattle (well N of NW) at my house in Mesa, AZ.
