If the earth is flat, why have I been able to fly from continental US to Australia, heading west (well south-west)? Maps (being flat and all that) tend to follow the -12 to +12 layout from GMT, so in my long distance flight, which then continued back to the UK (again heading west), how come I didn't fall off the edge?
In no particular order; you didn't, deception, banks, corporations, compass, conspiracy, God, horizon, flat.

Clearly, you were duped by the worldwide conspiracy that wants you to believe that the Earth is an oblate spheroid.
Now, what I can't answer is what this worldwide conspiracy has to gain by convincing us of this. Perhaps they make money out of selling globes.
But if the earth was flat, would maps be flat.......
Clearly I need to get back to work and do something productive!

Apparently, the conspiracy is 500 years old (give or take, I guess), so it must be the Freemasons or the Illuminati who are keeping it going, and I guess they just like to keep us confused as part of their plan of ongoing subjugation.
Probably there are no nations either. The concept of nations is a conspiracy to keep us divided and to make ruling us easier.

Bloody hell, what's in this coffee....
Cant you send some this way - my days needs a boost!
The Trumpet's budget proposal will cut all funding for NASA earth-based science. Climate change just goes away! Flat earth here we come. The EPA is to get a 30% haircut too. Fuck I hate him.

What more proof do we need to know that he really is for the people...he just doesn't give a shit about the environment they live in and health related issues from living with polluted air and water.
He is being such a little bitch on climate science. It's almost as it he has been lobbied....
This fucking sponge-jowled birth defect is rolling the clock back 50 years at the behest of industry. Education is being farmed out to more private entities too. Science be bad. Reality TV good.
Trump's going to slash foreign aid and reduce spending on winter heating for American families, while at the same time continuing to send record-breaking billions of dollars to Israel so that it can buy more weapons for the slaughtering of impoverished native Palestinian families.

They're also looking to remove FEMA's ability to produce flood maps, which, I believe, flows on to insurance. Specifically the ability for insurance companies to wriggle out of paying people what they're owed.
There also seems to be a proposed bill to prohibit any federal agencies from maintaining data on housing and ethnicity/demographics.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing.

I would need more info to answer this question, from which city in the US did you begin your flight, and to which city in OZ did you land? how many stop overs did you have and where did you stop over?
For all you skeptards out there, find many answers to your questions here.

Your fucking obsessed man, why don't you sign up with hezbollah, you might get a chance to lob some shells or mortars over the border into Israel.
So by pointing out Trump is going to slash foreign aid and spending on American families, while continuing to send billions of US tax-payers' dollars to the brutal Apartheid state of Israel, I am obsessed and ought to sign up with Hezbollah - whereas your denialist approach to all this is perfectly normal?
Ooookay
Incidentally, Hezbollah was created in 1982 to defend Muslims within Lebanon after an horrific massacre of thousands of Palestinian refugees by Christian Falangists and Israeli military, amid wanton rape and torture and mutilation. The victims, as usual, were women, children and elderly. The international community, as usual, did nothing about this. You, no doubt, would have gleefully participated in it, judging by your comments
If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?

Ahhh yes. The bastion of science and progressive thinking that is YouTube.
I don't suppose you have anything based on facts and evidence that is peer reviewed through critical debate?

Really? Ok. We left from a USAF base near San Francisco on a military flight. We stopped at Hawaii for fuel and then again in Japan(IIRC) for fuel and crew change. We then headed South to Australia, with one more short stop, IIRC, for fuel. The aircraft was a VC10 and this was in 2003 or 4 if memory serves; if that makes any difference.
For your calculations, the key element would be the leg from Hawaii to Japan, which is where we cross the international date line.
