I'm starting my own airline kind of there's a flight that's considered
impossible by some people and that's this flight here Buenos Aires to Perth
but I'm going to charter a plane and fly some of you there I'll explain it all coming up
Hey 74 Crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is Kelsey i'm a 747 pilot my channel
74 Gear is all about aviation now apparently some people in the flat earth community are not a big
fan of my channel they've called me a fraud among other mean things and you know i'm super sensitive
so it's time for flat earthers to put their money where their mouth is in 2021 I made a very simple
video offering how flat earthers could prove the earth was flat or not without doing crazy
laser science experiments and that was made for everyday people who aren't scientists or engineers
something that anybody can prove for themselves whether the earth is flat or not charter a plane
fly from Argentina down to Australia and then they can see that we took off turned south and that
would be it seems pretty simple and easy right but some people have written me saying i'm not keeping
my promises of the challenge to fly them around the world you said you'd be pilot and you said if
we chose your company but he won't even tell us who his company is so this is the kind of thing
this is why I said hold these people's feet to the fire but I wanted them to organize the trip not
me listen to what i said let's get a bunch of flat earthers together that you get at your conventions
YOU can sell some tickets hey YOU can even make some profit on it it doesn't really matter to me
but you can charter this aircraft and go anywhere you want to go I didn't say I wanted to organize
your trip I said you could organize a trip you could sell tickets you could make a profit
I didn't say oh let me organize your vacation because i'm not a travel planner I'm a pilot
and essentially what that means is when I go to work i show up to my plane everything's
been fixed the flight plan has been worked out for me I show up walk on the plane verify that
everything on the plane is safe that we have all the documents that we need and then i safely fly
that plane from one place to another place that's all i do not involved in tickets selling stuff
handling bags fueling up the aircraft none of those things and i'm not involved in organizing
other people's travel plans and that's why i said you could organize the flight but apparently that
message got lost and they heard me saying oh let me organize your flight i want to plan it all for
you and I'll fly the plane for you that's what they heard the flat earth community is able to
organize flat earth conferences or whatever these are called so i thought it'd be easy for them to
coordinate their own flight but I was wrong and I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong and it's all
right I organized it for you now I got a lot of different messages of we should start here I want
to start here we should end back where we started we should do it like this I want to do this and so
it got very confusing but there was one consistent message that I got from everybody and that was
this this is the undoable flight to the flat earth community it's Buenos Aires to Perth Australia
now i made this a straight line but this is not a flight plan so it took me a bit of legwork to find
somebody who had the plane that had that type of range the availability the cruise because they're
going to have to fly to Buenos Aires with a whole crew land there empty and then they're
going to have to have that crew layover and then prepare for the flight back which is gonna be
roughly 16 hours now since i have a regular job that i sometimes vlog about like in this one
i can't coordinate everything myself so included in the costs are fun for me in order to hire some
people to organize everything because i have a regular job and hire a documentary crew because
you better believe i'm going to document this entire thing now i have to give the flat earthers
credit here because some of them do believe there is a massive wall there so if they believe that
this flight is impossible and they're willing to fly down to Buenos Aires and think about risking
their life to get on a plane get way outside their comfort zone and take off to fly south
I have to respect that I have to respect anybody who's willing to do something way outside their
comfort zone and have it recorded like our friend Stella here pull it back a little bit more
to be clear i'm the one that's charging this aircraft and you're coming along as my guest which
means that i have the right to record everything you're getting no points no lounge access nothing
you're going to have to organize getting yourself down to Buenos Aires and then you'll have to worry
and make sure that you have the visa and necessary paperwork in Perth and then worry about getting
yourself from perth to wherever it is that you live because i know there's flat earthers from all
over the world so i wanted to make it easy all you have to do is get yourself to this one location
and we're going to do one flight together you can organize your hotels getting to and from the hotel
and getting to the airport and from the airport in Perth you can organize all that stuff
on your own because i'm not going to coordinate a six day around the world trip
I don't have time for that now like i mentioned earlier I'm not flying the plane and pilots don't
control the flight path anyways that's set up by dispatchers so this is just a point-to-point
line i'm not saying that's the route we're going to fly what i can tell you is that we're going
to take off from Buenos Aires we're going to be flying south and we're going to end up in Perth
the flight's going to be roughly 16 hours which is not possible on your flat earth map i think i
read somewhere that someone said that it would be roughly 30 hours on this flat earth map something
that's important if you are going to plan to come and be a guest on this flight is that you purchase
yourself a southern hemisphere compass because the compasses in the southern part of the world are
different than the northern part of the world for the round earth people but just for you flat earth
people i would buy a southern hemisphere compass so that way you can see as we take off we're going
to be flying south and you can prove that we're not on some extreme rocket ship shooting across
the flat earth globe so i planned this flight in October because i wanted to give myself time to
coordinate everything give you all time to raise the funds necessary to do this flight and also
because in October it will be springtime in the southern hemisphere and i'm not trying to go when
it's extremely cold so I'm planning it to be in the southern hemisphere time of spring of October
because if i waited until November December people would say oh it's too close to the holidays
so I picked October i thought that would give time for everybody time for you to go spend time with
your family middle of October shouldn't interrupt anyone's family plan so they should be able to
make it now if you were planning on coming on this trip just so you could hang out with
me I want to remind you i'm not even 100% sure that i'm going to be able to go and because
I don't have vacation during that time and i don't know what my schedule is going to be in October
I'm going to try to go absolutely I'm going to try to go because I want to be there and I want to be
and see the documentary and I really want to go to Perth because Perth has these cute little things
as soon as I get there and since there are some flat earthers that also have youtube channels
i'm very excited to see their videos explaining how I was able to get a bunch of people in Texas
to talk with an Australian accent and convince their dogs to jump around on two feet I created
a Kickstarter campaign and the thing that i like about Kickstarter is that it's all or nothing
meaning if we don't raise enough funds nobody has to pay anything myself included the other
thing you need to realize is that people are pledging money when they do a kickstarter campaign
that means there will be people who will say oh I'll give five thousand dollars thinking that
it will never get funded and in doing so that five thousand dollars when it comes time to pay
up there will be people who say i'm not gonna pay and that means just because the target got met it
doesn't necessarily mean that everyone's going to actually commit and pay the money unless we
have the money we're not going anywhere now it also means that until we have the money I
can't secure the aircraft what i'm planning on is October 20th I picked October 20th because well I
honestly was going to pick October 13th because it's International Skeptics Day or something like
that but i picked October 20th that's going to make it more easy and more likely for me to be
able to bid my schedule in order to have that time off to do this flight so that is when i'm
planning to organize this flight now I think it goes without saying but i'm going to say it
anyway since i received a lot of messages about this why i didn't organize this sooner one
I thought you all were going to organize it in the flight earth community but since you chose not to
i said okay I'll do it once Perth opens now western Australia has been closed for a long time
ask any of the people that are in Perth or western Australia they've been trying to get out of prison
for a while and now that it's open i wanted to give it a little bit of time to make sure it
was going to stay open before I organize this flight I was actually working on this last year
but then Perth I think they were going to open and then they decided not to open
and then now they did open and so now we're doing this part of Australia was opened up but this side
western Australia was not open and Perth is in western Australia now October is a long time away
so something changes like a new strain of covet comes out or the borders close or there's some
seating capacity rules that get changed I don't control any of that just like I'm not controlling
the plane I'm just charting this aircraft and organizing it and flying as a normal passenger
so if any of that stuff changes i have no say or control over that I also can't confirm the date
because these people aren't going to reserve the plane and the crew until I pay some money
and no offense but i'm not going to give them a huge chunk of money until you all have given
me the money then I'll go give them the money to do this flight so that date's not confirmed
once all the money's been raised and the money's been paid I'll go reserve the aircraft they'll
organize the crew and the plane and get all that stuff locked in so that's when it's going to get
firm luckily you have a lot of people in the flat earth community like this guy with huge chunks of
cash ready to donate for this flight to happen i'm going to be honest flat earth people there's
a lot of people who don't think you all will raise the money to do it i'm hoping that you do because
I want to go on the flight i want to make the documentary i want to go to Perth so I want to
do all those things i'm cheering that you guys are going to make it if you're planning on coming on
this flight just to hang out with me just so you know i want to be really clear I've done these 16
hour flights before i'm not a huge fan of them i'm going to be writing as a passenger which means i'm
going to eat my meal which is going to be included in the price i'm going to eat my meal and then i'm
going to try to go to sleep because i'm not trying to be awake for 16 hours and i already know the
shape of the earth because I've seen it my advice to any of you that are planning to do this flight
and if you're planning to really seriously do it I'd plan on going down to Argentina spending
a couple days there in Buenos Aires it's a really cool city spend a couple days there
then you're there you're rested you're ready to do the flight you can stay up for the whole
flight and look out the window and do whatever you want to do within reason obviously on the flight
then you're gonna land in Perth and then when you're there in Perth there's a lot of cool things
you can go see like these quokkas that's the thing that i really want to see out there but that will
give you a chance to rest and then you can spend a couple days there in Perth and then you can go
to the other side of Australia before you fly out because a lot of the international flights come
out of Sydney and because you're able to organize these types of meetings i'm hoping you're able
to organize and raise these funds so this is the total amount of money that you need to raise the
link to the Kickstarter campaign is right there in the description you can go in there and be a
part of this thing and you can either come ride the plane or you can donate just to see that it
happens i like i said i'm going to make some money on it but i also have money set aside for there
to be crews to help organize it because i'm not going to do it and documentary people because i
don't know how to do that as you can see the best i got is a camera in a hotel room that's kind of
the realm of my abilities of documenting something so i'm going to get some professionals to put this
thing together i think it's going to be really cool if you want to see the first flat earth
video that I ever did check out this video here and if you want to see a group of people who I'm
pretty sure you I could convince that the earth was flat based on their other ideas that they have
check out this video up here I look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side up
