200 member society can't raise enough money for a round the world flight?

the 200 member strong FES cannot even get enough donations together to fly one person around the disc to prove this awesome theory once and for all?

This has been done before, it proves only that the earth can be circumnavigated.  This fact has been known for centuries.

Prove it, post the evidence and show me the times so we can destroy the flat earth map once again.

Haven't you read the FAQ?

I am not going to waste my precious time proving common knowledge.  Times would prove nothing except some people can get around faster than others.

Oh the fictional work at the top of the forums? Yeah I read it. Show me the evidence, I see no times. Had you really done the round the world trip you would have proven round earth a long time ago.

500mph in one plane is 500mph in another one so I don't see your point.

Distances are distances, and a flat earth could not be possible once you navigate the GLOBE once and post your times between continents.

Flight times is a recurrent topic here and was actually my first thread I ever posted at these fora.  It has been relegated as an invalid argument through several insightful explanations.  You should try implementing the search function.

It's amazing how common it is for "common knowledge" to be wrong.  After all, it's common knowledge that the earth is round.

The fallacy of promoting the absurd ellipsoid earth theory good fellow.  You have surely been frequenting these most excellent fora long enough to have inevitably stumbled upon the truth.

Or perhaps you have  been too concerned with low content posting.

I am suggesting you re-evaluate your take on my understanding of your words.   

For more information on the OP, find the thread called Merged Ultimate Challenge for FE'ers in Debate. It's neither ultimate nor a challenge, merely tedious, but it is indeed merged.

It has never been considered invalid. The only "explanation," I wouldn't call it insightful though, it that optical distances might be different than physical distances. But comparing the distances traveled between cities in the northern and southern hemisphere you are will see that they match RE distances and not FE distances.

I suggest that you read the third statement in my sig.

How circumnavigation works in FET was discussed 150 years ago, on day one of this society.

Tom is correct as usual.  Nothing more needs to be said, really.

Then organize a flight across Antarctica.  This is probably one of the biggest longshots of FE - that Antarctica doesn't even exist.  There are, literally, flights over Antarctica every day, to get from Argentina to New Zealand, or from South Africa to Australia.

There are surely more than 200 RE'rs.  Why don't you organize a flight over Antarctica?

No, there aren't. Argumentum ad posterium is a logical fallacy.

What's their route then?

It doesn't happen. In RET or FET.

There is no travel by plane between Australia and South Africa!?

There is. It doesn't pass through the South Pole, though.
