Title: Airplanes on a Flat Earth.
Post by: JohnH. on December 15, 2017, 04:48:09 PM

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.
