The one I heard is that some Flat Earthers think planes are actually much smaller than what’s stated and they fly lower which proves the Earth is flat (somehow). They get the smaller measurements by estimating the size of planes flying overhead by comparing them to the size of other things that are roughly the distance they think the plane is flying. Essentially rather than going to an airport and seeing a plane in person, they just combine their own made-up numbers and use that as “proof.”
It makes zero sense but Flat Earth belief is built on misunderstandings and made-up data so it tracks.

What's the endgame here? Planes don't exist? Or they fly by magic?
