Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

I didn't call the gauge by the wrong name!  It's known as an attitude indicator (AI), a gyro horizon, horizon indicator, artificial horizon, or an attitude director indicator.  What the gauge was reading and how it's used in flight by pilots was a snapshot taken from wikipedia.  The wings were a hair line away from being 100% level with the horizon, so don't get your panties all in a knot.

Wow, you came up with 6 names for the same gauge.  I think that might be confusing for pilots which is why they only use one name...the correct one.  Oh, and that "hairline away" as you call it could make quite a difference depending upon the speed that the aircraft is traveling.  A few degrees at a high enough speed can rip your wings off...but, hey...let's not worry about being accurate.  You sure have not done so thus far.

A hairline away isn't a few degrees.  It's more like 0.2 - 0.4 degrees probably due to a small turbulence encountered by the aircraft, and you talk about being accurate.

Guy shoots himself in the foot when he begins to talk about atmospheric effects when viewing things at a distance and alludes to the effects not being able to account for the ability to see an object over the horizon but then goes on to say that atmospheric effects can cause a ship to appear upside down and so forth.

I'll give you a little bit of time to wrap your mind around what he was saying before I give you my input.  Do some critical thinking Farmhand!

Well isn't that interesting because a rocket goes straight up and within a few minutes is mostly flying horizontal to get into space.  That supports the spherical Earth.

No, the rocket flying mostly horizontal within a few minutes over a flat earth while dropping the fuel tank is evidence for it getting ready to return back to the ground.
