The Plane Highway in the Sky

Over the North Atlantic, where there is no radar coverage, planes don’t fly like they normally fly. They follow a set of daily tracks that act like highways in the sky.

    4:20 You traded the Kubbs and Bears to Boston. I hope you got the Patriots and Red Sox in return. Yeah, I know what you meant.

  6. carschmn says

    The planes look like cute little fish going over the Atlantic.

    Just another video with FAKE content….so here is the video makers opportunity to prove he/ she is not just another FAKER……please post JUST ONE piece of proof of your imaginary never seen , never found, never photographed ficticious spinning ball earth…(CGI is not allowed as CGI is made by man to fool other men that imaginary objects could exist if any proof of them actually existed)…hurry back FAKER….
    and PLEASE….no dumbass shill replies either, stating idiotic bull shit like our earth is a spinning ball FFS… What cannot be proven by anyone are…the imaginary never found ,never seen, never photographed mythical spinning ball , Evolution , Gravity , Space flight , Satellites, ….proof is actually required , but we have non…..and if you are silly enough to disagree , please post a link to ANYTHING that will support you theories.

    Hi

    ''Radar Services Terminated, Have a Good Night. Just scares me.

  10. Viktor Vasilik says

    It is flat

  11. Luca Urbanic says

    The earth is flat

  12. Cooling Heat says

    4:24 what about in Dallas there's ANIME?

  13. Ricardo Pieper says

    Give Wendover 2 or 3 hours of flight instruction and he'll be fully capable of doing international flights everywhere.

  14. 捷克 批室체코 피시 says

    1:58 You're messing up two different speeds…Shockwaves start to develop at certain TAS(true airspeed; speed the aircraft is moving through the air), but you're talking about GS(ground speed;speed the airplane is moving relative to ground)

  15. JavaFirst.website says

    I love your videos!
    Great, great job!
    Btw, flying Vancouver to Paris then on to Warsaw on July 28th.

  16. Dj Stores says

    Super interesting video!!

  17. DAB_Ant says

    When I went to Italy, I flew from the Philadelphia airport. On the way there, it took about 7 and a half hours. On the way back it took 10 hours

  18. JBags72 says

    It’s kind of crazy that “despite what some may think” should even be mentioned when discussing the curvature of the Earth thanks to flattards. Civilization knew the truth thousands of years ago but I guess some a$$holes still don’t believe. Great video. 👍🏻

  19. Michael Farquharson says

    5:28 sounds so creepy lol

  20. Riley says

    4:09 Ahh so that's what Steve from Blue's Clues is doing now.

  21. paul mitchell says

    All those jets, overheating the planet.

  22. Kamineiro says

    4:11 my childhood

  23. SlurpDurp says

    East Australia to west North America is an absolute mess in terms of organisation

  24. U.S. Army Airforce says

    Boston ain't Cubs and bears that's Chicago

  25. john Doe says

    Cubs and Bears are Chicago teams not Boston

  26. Esprick RBLX says

    why u hurt my brain lol

  27. monsieur boeuf de tête says

    your cubs and bears faux-pas removed any and all legitimacy from your video. have a nice day.

  28. Paul Barrett says

    Very interesting, but there is an error in the narration ( though not in the graphic) at 1.15. He describes the jet stream winds as Easterly. But they are Westerly, because winds are named after the direction they're blowing FROM, not TOWARDS- so winds blowing from the USA towards Europe are definitely Westerly winds.

  29. Casey Nichols says

    Not cutting flight times by hours. It reduces fuel cost. The pilots can ride the wind

  30. Robert Boydston says

    4:23 hmmmMMmmm

  31. Charly_5V ### says

    Check mate, earth flatters XD

  32. Mr*.* PoTaTo says

  33. Cristiano Lover says

  34. Erel Batish says

    Yes captin
    Point weeee

  35. C says

    700 flat earthers got triggered

  36. Eric Talkington says

    Jet fuel only costs $1.89 a GALLON?? Shit that's cheaper than gas for my car lol! It's almost twice that now! I have lived in flight paths for a long time. Where I'm at now and my last apartment, the planes are less than 1,000 ft up. It's crazy because years ago, I started noticing as the sun is setting I can see the headlights coming all in a line. It's so interesting to watch. They usually fly over about every 5 minutes or so. Once, I kept hearing them over and over and went outside and saw about every 60 seconds another jet flying overhead! I only saw that once with THAT many. I've been watching for years. Literally highways in the sky. Very cool. I love outside of Chicago by the way, in Northwest Indiana but it's still considered Chicagoland. We be Chicago weather, news, TV, radio, even Chicago time.

    Even going as far as spelling cubs with a K but some people still don't get that it's just a joke, lol.

  38. Obese Toussaint says

    Help. A fat orange tabby cat keeps trying to send me to Abu Dhabi.

  39. Bruce Wayne says

    But but but earth is flat but but but you are lying. Hurrrrr durrrrr fake news hurrrrrr durrr

  40. Dylan Morrow says

    Jet stream: I'll help you
    British airways pilot : thanks
    G-force counter:OH JESUS MOTHER OF GOD
    Plane: somebody once told me that the wind is gonna break me

  41. Rolfadinho OTG says

    People, you don't understand the Kubbs & Bears thing… it is referencing the same team, the NHL Bruins.

  42. John Jurik says

    The aircraft was no where near the speed of sound.
