This direct flight from Sydney to Santiago de Chile would be impossible on a flat earth.

Surely IF the world is flat, then no flights that currently exist are impossible...
It’s a tautology.
I find some of the flight path analysis arguments slightly interesting, but fundamentally flawed in regards to determining the shape of the world in most every way - regardless of what shape it actually is.
Flight paths and lengths are 100% what you'd expect on a globe earth.
What's the distance between Sydney and Santiago de Chile?
Show it in a map.
There are many who claim this is not the case and have ostensible evidence to support their claims.
However, you seem to have missed my point.
IF the world is flat, then obviously all flights happen over a flat earth.
The whole “flight paths prove” premise is essentially nonsense - regardless of the shape of the world they are claimed to prove.
They have claims but no evidence.
So you want to believe.
Evidence is easy. There’s evidence available for almost anything, very much including things which are wrong/untrue. Just think about all the people who are wrongly convicted and sentenced for crimes they didn’t commit. Or virtually every scientific conclusion/belief of prior generations. Evidence abounds, but it doesn’t usually lead to truth (and often leads away from it).
You may disagree, or otherwise find fault with, their evidence - but they certainly have it (at least, as i said, ostensibly).
