some say you can see Atlanta from Brasstown bald in a clear day, don't know if theres any truth to that then the linear distance would be something like 70 miles away or so. I have personally never seen it but that would be awesome.
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).
I've seen downtown KC from Lee's Summit and Liberty, but the furthest I've seen it is probably 25 miles as the crow flies along 7 highway just south of Lansing. On the other side of the coin, I once saw the veteran's hospital in Leavenworth from the 39th floor of One KC Place, which is pretty far.
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.
That's pretty awesome. Makes me want to drive up there just to see for myself, which I've gone almost that far (from KC) before on an unplanned joyride.

I've seen One KC Place from 151st Street in Overland Park (between Switzer and Antioch Rds). I imagine that is about 20-somethin miles.
It's too mountainous/smoggy/hazy on most days to see LA. But, there is a ski resort in the mountains in San Bernardino county ~50 miles away where on a clear day you can see downtown LA. But other than that rare instance, there really just isn't any good line of sight with exception to the Getty Center, Griffith Observatory or some hills in Orange county.
Also, San Francisco can be seen from many vantage points. And rumor has it you can see that damn Sutro Tower from Japan.
