We rounders have to settle for being baffled by things like dark matter and the cause of the big bang.
I am an airline pilot, and the highest I have been is 41000'. Can't say that I have noticed any curvature. Not that I have been specifically looking for it either though. I would also guess that one would have to be at least 20 miles up to notice a curve without any instruments.
Cheers.

Long distance air travel flights in the southern hemisphere tend to make layovers in the northern hemisphere.They do tend to go north, as that's where most travelers are. However you can fly directly from continent to continent in the Southern Hemisphere.

are you saying literally every god damn air pilot is faking/lying on where they are traveling?

Whats worse is that you accept those ideas as truth, like sheeple!
Actually pilots do not have to lie, they don't see a curve either.

Not a pilot, but...
The curvature of the Earth was visible on my Concorde flight, along with the darkness of the sky. It wasn't black but very dark blue. I have not been able to see either features on a normal flight up to 40k
From a friend who was a military pilot, and from sources such as the many books I have read on the SR-71 and U-2 it can be said that this doesn't appear until you get up to 55K-60K feet........
The highest I have been is 41K on a 777 and I couldn't see anything but a flat horizon.

Now, take an imaginary pencil, and in your imagination start drawing a line along that line of that roumd horizon. After you came to the end of the picture, turn yourself 90 degrees to continue drawing that line. Continue turning yourself and drawing the line simultaneously. Where should you expect to see this line after turning and completing at 360 degrees?
But you can go online now and buy a ticket. So yeah they do. I have a friend who has flown from South Africa to Sydney. Direct flight. And your response is black magic? They lied? How huge must that conspiracy be for your ideas to work? How much magic must be involved? Seriously?Long distance air travel flights in the southern hemisphere tend to make layovers in the northern hemisphere.They do tend to go north, as that's where most travelers are.

Acting. Trickery. Black magic. They don't. Take your pick.
One of our moderators is a pilot and engineer. He has supplied us with his pilots license as well. He has testified that he has never witnessed any evidence that showed the Earth to be round.Provide some details that show the earth is not round.
I suggest you go on a popular travel flight - start to play with different locations for your destination and departure. I think you'll be surprised with what you find. You may be up all night trying to prove it wrong.
The petite experiment I allude to is in the wonderful book Flat Earth Clues. I'd hardly steal money from our good friend Mark Sargent's pocket.you should provide recent verified evidence, not clues.

I'm going to guess jroa in a bold plan to convince John Davis that he's a flat earther.
And they are correct, because the earth is too big. What is your point?
OMG.you have 3 pilots. How many does that leave for the globe?
Which makes sense, since you shouldn't be able too. The earth is just too damn big.
