This is very interesting and a fun informative article. In the Air Force in a KC-135 refueler we flew at over 50,000 feet and I swear could about make out the curvature of the Earth. For curiosity I entered the elevation to see how far the horizon was and the answer came out to be 274.1 miles. I believe it. Military often fly above the commercial flights being about
30, 000+ feet. It was beautiful to see the in flight refueling other military planes (B-47 & B-52) being about 30 feet apart at hook up, a sight few people observe, great memory. Thanks for the related article(s).
