I know coming into Chicago, one can see the skyline from a LONG ways out. Not too sure how far, but we drove for miles before we were actually there. Probably because of the clear skies and flat topography.
I can see the Minneapolis skyline from my hometown, which is 25 miles as the crow flies.
So much depends on the topography and the foliage of an area. In areas where it's flat and prairie, you can see for miles. In other areas that are hilly and wooded, the skylines sometimes come in and out depending on your specfic vantage point, viewing angles and obstructions like trees.
Some people have claimed to be able to see Chicago skyline from southwest Michigan acrost the Lake. I have my doubts, but yet ive heard the claim.
its true. i've actually seen a pic of it across the lake. here's a couple of links. http://www.pbase.com/image/34534484

I saw an oldish photo (pre 9-11) of the NYC skyline from something like 40 miles out in the ocean. Coo pic, I'll have to try harder to find and link it.
