That is usually one of the main proofs that earth is flat. The pilot doesn't have to keep lowering the plane in order not to fly higher, the fly completely level, yet the plane flies in a curve around the earth.
Well to be fair the earth is really really really big.
Flat earthers have no sense of scale.
....but it has to go like nuts to stop falling out of the sky ?
I think one would still believe in gravity, just not the same way as normal people. It would have to be a constant field "downward" rather than masses attracting.
Planes can obviously go fast enough to counteract gravity...
