and it appears you can’t just fly straight into New Jersey. Had to come in way up north and fly southward, don’t understand why but that seems to be the flight pattern.
It's because of the shape of the earth. Would take alot longer if they flew strait over the widest part. Cool write up.

What does the shape of the earth have anything to do with flight patterns? Your are at the same altitude all the time you don't just fly off into outerspace. Please explain

Kennedy, take for instance flying to Cali. The flight pattern from NJ to Cali isn't in a strait line as you would think by looking at a map. They actually fly north first in an archlike shape, then back south. Cutting out the widest part of the earth being the middle laterally. Its weird to understand(and to explain) but I know thats what they do. Gotta talk to my freind Nate, hes a pilot for Cont. sure he can explain it better.

WTF !?!?!?!?!?!? they go in 1 direction until they reach speed and altitude then change course. most runways arent pointed in the direction in which your going (destination) so your heading north.

now picture this, your on the runway, you get the plane up to speed to lift off the runway (still not at full speed) you take off, and your 100 feet off the ground, and you try to turn 110 degrees to the right or left, ut uh, it aint gonna happen. physics baby, physics. now take your bike and go 5 MPH around the bus stop in the Poconos and drag your knee and keep going without dropping the bike. once their at the required altitude and speed, its a straight run, UNLESS your flying over parts of North and South America that have a restricted no fly zone

your probably wondering how i know all this, please do ask

but who am EYE

Your answer is in the link below. Any object that flys within the confines of the Troposphere is effected by this force.
