Omaha, NE from right around the corner borders of Nebraska/Missouri/Kansas line. This is unbelievable! My uncle took this picture last summer - if it was this summer water would fill the screen - LOL. MapQuest shows this to be right around 119 miles. Whoda thunk.
I once saw the St. Paul skyline all the way from county 42 just north of Hastings about 2-3 miles south of Spring Lake Park. I'm guessing thats about 20 miles.
Another one. I can see One Kansas City Place many times on a clear day from the southern I35-I435 interchange in south Lenexa (13-15 miles). I can also see the KC skyline from 151st street between Antioch and Switzer, just before the Johnson County Library heading east (25 miles).
It wouldn't be as far. One must remeber that the east coast has a pretty rolling topography in general that only becomes more so the further west one goes.
nice pictures, but I'm doubting 50 miles (first pix). I'm about 50 miles away at the same latitude as this picture (this picture was taken in NJ), and you cannot see Manhattan from anywhere near me. I'll give you 35 miles.
You can see New York City from Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ on extremely clear days. Much easier at night though. That's about 71 miles away.

yeah, there was some discussion on whether that was an urban legend or not. Some people said you could see Philly & New York on either side of you for a split second.

Also it is only about 46 miles from lower manhattan and 41 from Center Philly on a straight line
Tops of the buildings in Lower Manhattan 40 miles away
