The main building on the university of Arkansas campus sits high upon a hill, so its clearly visible from maybe 10 miles or more away from some places. We don't have much of a skyline, though.
It would seem unlikely, but if people say they've seen it, hey who am I to tell them they were wrong? Kingda Ka is pretty high.
I live about 22 miles from NYC (as the crow flies) and from the enormous, Driscoll Bridge (http://media.nj.com/ledgerupdates_im...7186-large.jpg) by my house, One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and a few of the surrounding larger buildings are visible most days, unless the weather is bad. If it's a clear day or night, there are some spots in town you can see NYC from flat land.
On that note, I'm about 55-60 miles from Philly and have never seen any of the skyline from anywhere around my area. It seems possible that from Jackson (where Six Flags is, about 45 miles from both cities) on a super clear day, a faint skyline of either city would be visible.
Jackson is about 44 miles from each (believe you are correct)
I know you can clearly see the Philly skyline from Ewing township NJ (in Mercer County) about 35 miles on 95 at ground level (though this area is a little elevated)
Also clearly from the PA TP to NJ TP connector I mean clear as day which is about the elevation of Kindakon I believe (though probably half the distance but can see all of the skyline clearly (and Trenton too). Als you can see the the Philly skyline from the NJ to DE turnpike connector bridge south of Wilmington, though again believe that is shorter than Jackson
FWIW there was an article that claimed from the lobby lounge that will 1,000 atop the new CTIC center in CC Philly will provide a view that includes the AC skyline 57 miles away
lastly I have heard that tat from the building right at the New Brunswick exit of the NJTP - from the top floors both NYC and Philly are visible (opposite sides of the building obviously) but not able to confirm
Its 52 miles from CC Philly and only 28 from the tip of Manhattan (assume NYC easy as a little further N on the NJTP you can see the skyline from ground level)

no NYC? would think it would be also if the others are - probably as close as Philly to there I would think
And the Limerick Towers - they are nearly 500 ft (believe some of the taller cooling towers in the country) also at an elevation of like 400 feet or so

That should be interesting to see if that's true when the CTIC is completed.

Nice! Do you have any photos from that spot?
