Abu Dhabi to Fort Worth, Texas Flight Path
This graphic shows the path of a flight from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The top graphic shows how the flight appears as it is tracked on a globe map. The bottom graphic shows how the flight path would look on a flat earth map. As you can see, the flight path on the ball earth map appears to take a strange northern loop and pass unnecessarily over land in the high northern latitudes. Why not just go in a straight line? On the flat earth map, however, the flight path going over land in the northern latitudes makes perfect sense, as it is a straight line from point A to point B.
If Earth was a ball, and Antarctica was too cold to fly over, the only logical way to fly from Sydney to Santiago would be a straight shot over the Pacific staying in the Southern hemisphere the entire way. Re-fueling could be done in New Zealand or other Southern hemisphere destinations along the way if absolutely necessary. In actual fact, however, Santiago-Sydney flights go into the Northern hemisphere making stop-overs at LAX and other North American airports before continuing back down to the Southern hemisphere. Such ridiculously wayward detours make no sense on the globe but make perfect sense and form nearly straight lines when shown on a flat Earth map.”— Eric Dubay 200 proofs Earth not a Spinning Ball
“On a ball-Earth, Johannesburg, South Africa to Perth, Australia should be a straight shot over the Indian Ocean with convenient re-fueling possibilities on Mauritus or Madagascar. In actual practice, however, most Johannesburg to Perth flights curiously stop over either in Dubai, Hong Kong or Malaysia all of which make no sense on the ball, but are completely understandable when mapped on a flat Earth.”—Ibid
“On a ball-Earth Johannesburg, South Africa to Sao Paolo, Brazil should be a quick straight shot along the 25th Southern latitude, but instead nearly every flight makes a re- fueling stop at the 50th degree North latitude in London first! The only reason such a ridiculous stop-over works in reality is because the Earth is flat.” ~ Ibid
According to the Federal Aviation Association, no air flights have gone the much shorter routes over the Arctic and Antarctic due to cold weather effecting flights as well as having to effect rescue over such inhabited areas (what about the oceans?!). Another reason that is given is that airlines would be required to carry special survival equipment (jackets, boots?), even though thousands of hours of flight time and fuel consumption would be saved by going direct instead of Westward and Eastward directions.
“If Earth was a ball there are several flights in the Southern hemisphere which would have their quickest, straightest path over the Antarctic continent such as Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia. Instead of taking the shortest, quickest route in a straight line over Antarctica, all such flights detour all manner of directions away from Antarctica instead claiming the temperatures too cold for airplane travel! Considering the fact that there are plenty of flights to/from/over Antarctica, and NASA claims to have technology keeping them in conditions far colder (and far hotter) than any experienced on Earth, such an excuse is clearly just an excuse, and these flights aren’t made because they are impossible.” ~ Ibid

Your comparison for the flight between Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to Fort Worth, Texas is using 2 different flat map projections. The global comparison should use an actual globe for the flight path, not a projection that is known to distort dimensions.
With a proper comparison, I believe this route will fly over the same geographical features, with the same distance and flying time.
A more interesting comparison would be travel between points in a mostly east-west path that is near the southernmost points of Africa, South America, and Australia.
Perhaps simply calculating distances between identical pairs of longitudes, with one set on a northern latitude and the same set on the opposite southern latitude (where these are equally quite far from the equator).
If these are vastly different distances, that would seem to be evidence supporting the FE model. Any takers who are good with Lat-Long distance calculations?

Or more accurately a longitude and time calculator.

That it is a projection for a start. A projection of what? The cartographical definition of projection is “The representation, on the plane, of all or part of the terrestrial ellipsoid. Usually this representation is determined having in mind the drawing of a map”

jwlpeace,
To avoid any issues with the words I use, please strikeout “believe this” from the post and address the remaining ideas. If they are shown to be false, OK. If there is someone up to doing distance calculations, use that evidence to support the validity of the FE model.
The claim you made is how FE is accurate; pictures tell one story; comparison calculations should provide SOLID evidence to this question.
If you want to debunk something I said, provide evidence and feel free to point out any stupid parts. Otherwise it would seem your response is an opinion (or some similar synonym).
Thanks.

I have flown from Johannesburg to Perth and assure you that it took 9 hours, unless of course the plane went into some time warp and I lost the track of time.

Sorry to say but I have flown many times from Argentina to Australia and the flight was from Buenos Aires to Rio Gallegos very southern region of Argentina then New Zealand and finally Sydney. So as you said “If Earth was a ball, and Antarctica was too cold to fly over, the only logical way to fly from Sydney to Santiago would be a straight shot over the Pacific staying in the Southern hemisphere the entire way. Re-fueling could be done in New Zealand” and that actually happens then we have to conclude according to your own logic that the earth is a ball.

This post says “Such ridiculously wayward detours make no sense”. I would say it all depends on what the airline is trying to accomplish.
When our family went to Florida a decade ago from southern Wisconsin, our first plane took us to Minneapolis, MN. No matter what the shape of the earth is, this “ridiculously wayward detour” also appears to “make no sense”. Perhaps the main question should not be the shape of the earth, but what are airlines trying to do with their flight offerings?
The non-ridiculous answer is they want to maximize plane seats used, and thereby profit margins. To do so they use a hub and spoke system of airports to route flyers in many directions, while attempting to leave few seats empty.
This is an excellent reason why planes have unusual connections as this post describes. No earth shape ideas in play in this scenario.

Hey Dummies! Get a load of this!
Perth to Dubai: 5,618 miles,

Perth to Johannesburg: 5,165 miles; 5,165 total miles flight, – 453 miles less than to Dubai.
All gathered from the Google Earth globe model and Mercator projection with approximate distances rounded to nearest number with start and end points of the closest major airports – directly in the center of 2 or more runways. Only 1-2 miles of difference at the max in measurement.
Your telling me that your perfectly fine with trusting a distorted distance of OVER ‘5,500 MILES’ on the supposedly scientific mathematically calculated radius to circumference of the size of the earth as a magical spinning ball?? Ahem ‘blue marble’.
Forget the flights, look at the distance, you get on a flight from Perth straight to Johannesburg and have an app tracking live the miles you are traveling and keep videoing from takeoff to passing Madagascar to landing, and I GARAUNTEE that you will have flown over 9,500 miles or more, for 15+ hours flight time – at the very least.
This extra 5,500+ miles simply proves that the earth gets wider towards the Antarctica outer edge, WAY WIDER. Not smaller, if it did shape itself back into like the north pole(center of the earth!) then it would be perfectly logical to assume that the flight distance SHOULD BE SHORTER.
That is, if the bottom of this earth ball was the same as the top. We might as well live on a bouncing spinning ball that occasionally deflates itself due to loss of air pressure…thus the distortion of distance.
Open your minds you dummies.

Currently, no commercial airliners operates this 6,800-nautical-mile (7,800 mi; 12,600 km) route. However, in February, 2018, it was stated that Norwegian Air Argentina is considering this “less than 15 hours” trans-polar flight between South America and Asia, with a stop-over in Perth enroute Singapore’
‘Few airlines fly between cities having a great circle route over Antarctica. Hypothetically, flights between South Africa and New Zealand, or between Perth, Australia and certain destinations in South America (including Buenos Aires and São Paulo), would overfly Antarctica, but no airline has scheduled such flights.’
And of course if the earth was flat it would not be possible because its much wider going to the outer rim. The earth IS a flat circle with the inner being shorter than the outer.
