I did watch a bit of Eric Dubay doc that made an interesting point. If the Earth is a globe spinning at a thousand miles an hour, why wouldn't a westward-bound aircraft, whose destination is more or less exactly parallel, just rise up in the air and stay stationary until the destination arrived to them? Aircraft would be designed to take someone straight up in the air, and just wait for the Earth to rotate to bring Denver to them. It takes 3 Hours to fly to Denver (lat. 39.73) from Indianapolis (lat 39.76), which is just over 1,000 miles away. Going straight up and waiting for the Earth to rotate would just take 1 hour. Now, flying from Denver to Indianapolis takes a half hour less, but if the world is spinning counter-clockwise, then Indianapolis would be moving away from the plane, so the flight time should be longer, as the jet stream averages as 250mph and maxes out at 750mph, which couldn't make up for the 1,000mph rotation speed.
