But you can fly from any point in a straight line round a sphere and it will take the same ammount of time to reach where you left off, assuming you travel at the same speed each time. If you were traveling in circles varying in size depending on how far away from the center you are than it would take a hell of a lot longer to fly round the earth at some points than it would at others.
