Did you get a chance to?
I looked it up, and it just struck me as one more thing (((the government))) (aka liars) say they can do, and not especially relevant to the shape of the earth question. I suppose Moretorque thinks it proves curvature, but that's one part of the debate that I've been able to examine with my own eyes. When you fly on a clear day the horizon does continuously rise to eye level, as flat earthers say. And also, from an overlook in the Sierra Nevada Mountains I could see Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta, and everything in between. That's a distance of 120+ miles and there should be almost two miles of curvature over that distance. None was visible. Online, of course, you can see pictures of visible landmarks twice that distance away, which should be buried well under the curvature and invisible.
Mount Shasta is 2.6 miles high
So you would get to see 1.3 miles of the mountain from 100 miles distance.
200 miles away is where that mountain would vanish completely
You never answered one question. How come you can see lighthouses and cities from far away where they should be below the curvature according to the standard curvature formula of 8 inches squared per mile? For example, you can see Chicago across Lake Michican, which is impossible since it should be well below the horizon. The TV news admitted this too and labeled it as a mirage. However, a mirage would be upside down, not rightside up. So this makes no sense. I've asked globe earthers about this many times. They always ignore the question. Moreover, in the 1800s they were able to see lighthouses from very far away far below the Earth's alleged curvature. This is well documented. Again, globe earthers dodge this important question.
