Furthest Distance you've seen the Philadelphia Skyline and the Roxbourgh Antenna Farm (Quakertown: apartment, middle school)

With myself being a Philadelphia resident, I would like to know, where was the furthest distance you've seen the Philadelphia Skyline, as well as the antenna farm that's northwest of the city.

For me, the farthest I've seen the skyline is from the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the farthest I've seen the antenna farm is heading south on 476 north of the Quakertown exit. What about you all?

It's not really that far I guess, but you can see the skyline from the Wegmans in Cherry Hill.

From William Tennent High School in Warminster you can see the top of the skyline (needs to be a clear night). About 22 miles or so??

You can see the Philly skyline from Apple Pie Hill in Tabernacle Township. That's 33 miles.

The furthest I can personally remember seeing the skyline from was the rooftop of my friends apartment building in Merion, maybe about 5-6 miles, so not very far

Im here in Southwest Philly you can pretty much see the skyline from most places here.....I can also see the antennas from my front window i just love that its amazing that i can. Another furthest place i've seen the skyline is from the Northeast along the regional rail line next to I-95....the antennas Roosevelt Blvd/Wyoming Avenue that big oh block of land those antennas are front and center........some places in Cherry Hill i've seen the skyline.....That Comcast Center really stands out and i LOVE how it looks and feel makes the region and city feel FULL AS IT IS.

You can see the whole skyline while standing at ground level from a park in lower Bucks county. Delaware river is actually pretty straight all the way down.

Philly on the Delaware River from the Northeast / Bucks County area looks so nice.
On the NJTransit Atlantic City Line coming over the bridge is another spectacular sight also.

I could see it from my ex-g/f's place (twelve stories up) in Aberdeen, MD.

Bull****! It's 62 miles away. An object has to be roughly 2600 feet high for the tip to be seen at 62 miles.

The Comcast tower is 974 feet high, so your g/f's place would have to be 1626 feet high, almost twice as tall as the Comcast tower, and you would still see just the very tip of Comcast tower, certainly not the skyline.

I mean this is simple math about the curvature of the earth. A middle school kid (not PSD) will be able to call out bull**** like this.
