[@ApatiEktetheimenos]

Brilliant idea. Really fun to see the many tiny course corrections on the way! Very well done. LOL- Reminds me of the classic story of the German ATC telling the British Pilot he "landed just a little bit left of the centerline" when the Pilot said he did, and the copilot landed a little bit right of the centerline!

[@arminiusteuto7778]

The plane flew a straight line to Gleason's standard world map and no bow ... that's exactly the same thing on a plane. Thank you ! The horizon is always at eye level and straight.

At 2:24 in the map shown why is the path of flight like that. I mean the shortest distance between two locations is by travelling in a straight line right?. I know this might sound silly but I haven't boarded any flights till now , so I'm just curious to know. 😅😅😅

[@God-is-Great777]

nice flat earth views. I am wondering how many times you have to change plane direction once you are past UK to form that beautiful nice arc over north America?

[@God-is-Great777]

+Paco Ramirez funny thing is that I will give you the same advice. Ignorance is a bliss for someone stupid and dumb like you.

[@pacoramirez7363]

only-God-guides-to-truth The arc you see is the result of a great circle route. The route is that way because the earth is round, not because the plane is making some sort of invisible course changes. Anyhow, if the earth is so flat then how is it that anyone can look up with a cheap telescope or binoculars and see satellites orbiting the earth, or moons orbiting other planets? Could it be that all of that isn't a giant conspiracy? Before calling others ignorant, please understand that you are blatantly ignoring observable facts in favor conspiracy speculation that, in all probability, you blindly believed from some KZbin video.

[@God-is-Great777]

Paco Ramirez nice speech but without any substance. why dont you make a video of supposed "orbiting satellites" with your cheap telescope, and then post it on your youtube channel. Once you do that then we will have a conversation. Garbage in garbage out

[@pacoramirez7363]

only-God-guides-to-truth All these people say "why don't you make a video of it and post it?" The problem is, you people will just call it fake anyway. It's just an excuse for not looking yourself. As long as you don't investigate things for yourself, you can continue imagining that they aren't true.

[@God-is-Great777]

Paco Ramirez like I said, garbage in garbage out. Go live your blissfully ignorant life, I care less

[@faizbashaAirplanes]

Nice timelapse... was that video on for 12 hours +... how did you use a 1 tb drive, and how on earth did the battery last, you'd need multiple portable batteries to make that possible... And how did you get that flight tracker animation...

+Cloudsurfing ... Last time the flight attendant didn't allow me to use a window suction mount and said videoing is questionable... your a pilot so clearly this is allowed... any advice cuz I'm on an a330 this Tuesday. Is there like some FAA document saying this is allowed.lol

[@faizbashaAirplanes]

Welp, I did it, and it completely fried my GoPro, and Now it wont turn on... I have a hero 3. =C, I think ill stick to smart phone cameras...

[@A_Rotisserie_Chicken]

How far out do they go before they circle back towards the runway? It did not seem very far.

[@_Neolidas]

All the turns you saw were part of a "Transition", where aircraft make several turns before lining up on the runway. This not only allows them time to extend flaps, gear, radio-altimeter etc. but also makes the tower controller's life easier because all the planes won't be touching down at near-random intervals. So no, it's not too far.

[@leokimvideo]

I never understand why jets don't just fly straight to a destination, seemed like a long way around from point A to B

[@TomLawsonANIMATIONS]

This actually is the shortest route. Remember that the earth is a 3 dimensional sphere, so when you project it on a normal 2 dimensional map, the shortest route appears to take a detour which is a big curve, but in reality this is the shortest route when travelling in 3d over a sphere. Try it by tracing a path with your finger over a globe and you'll see that if you were to project this path onto a map it would be a curve.

[@yaosio]

It's so they can keep the lie going that the Earth is round. The Earth is a flat disc on the back of a turtle, which itself is also on the back of a turtle. The edge of the disc is covered in dinosaurs that eat planes and boats.

[@lNVENTlVE777]

A great example of this is... Which US state is closest to Africa? Most of us think of geography in the maps we've seen which flatten the world and would guess Florida, but in reality, Maine is nearly 1000 miles closer. The shortest distance between two points *on a globe/sphere* is a curve, not a straight line like on a map.

[@LamyPedro]

Why is the plane not turning then? When it curves on the map the plane does not follow the route meaning that map is wrong! If it was the Gleason map it would fit like a glove!

[@Lg-kb7ob]

Remember its a perfect sphere so theres not "less curve" on a different route. The fact is this route makes sense on a flat earth map and not on a ball map. The curve is nowhere to be seen or measured.

[@jonnynaruto4]

No it does not, you do realise that the little flight Path image in the corner is NOT projected onto a Globe right? Its a Mercator Map not a efin Globe, if you projected it on a Globe Then the flight Path would almost be a straight line

[@TheWorldgonecrazy]

It is projected on a globe because to those who do NOT know it still is a globe so that is why they use it. If it was on Gleasons map of the world it would be straight.

'cause they need to stick with flight path and ATC, for safety reasons. So if you crashed they'll easily find you

[@bigbeeforever]

oh right i see

[@cloudsurfing8997]

+bigbeeforever no, it´s because it is the direct way to the westcoast. it´s not for safety reasons. the earth is a ball, so the straight line goes over greenland (for example to SFO). look at a globe and you´ll see it!

[@ItalkBoutStuff]

+Diogo Rocha Neither of those are right. It's the jet stream and it saves fuel
