interesting you would say that!
humidity, temperature differentials and perspective explains why sometimes further-than-calculated-normal distances can be seen in all your examples, but it's not enough to explain why i can't see mountain ranges over arid land on dry days from 100 miles away, if the earth is flat.

i see that the lens on this camera (or is that the camera pointing into a convex mirror?) is obviously distorted in a way that would purposefully counterbalance the curvature of the earth.
but there are a thousand videos of such flights on youtube where you can see obvious curvature -- not even counting the literally millions and millions of images from NASA, ESA, JSA, the Russian space federation, etc.
so just because you cherry picked 1 or 2 videos which show obvious signs of lens distortion designed to hide the convex horizon, does not mean the earth is flat.
your idol is a liar -- he was a liar from the beginning.

hey, you made my day!
obviously spherical is not paying any attention to having his pet theory flatly debunked over and over... so i feel like i've maybe wasted a lot of my time, though i do find it mildly enjoyable to correct bad physics. but to see that what i'm doing brings you joy, and that a non-believer can see evidence that not all Christians are morons when it comes to science & logical thinking - there are just a few extreme cases, like in almost any group, really makes my heart glad!
yay! thanks for posting, Karaka

In 1872 Capt. Gibson and crewmates, sailing the ship "Thomas Wood" from China to London, reported seeing the entirety of St. Helena Island on a clear day from 75 miles away. Factoring in their height during measurement on a ball-Earth 25,000 miles in circumference, it was found the island should have been 3,650 feet below their line of sight.
How do you explain being able to see so far away from certain vantage points?
From Genoa, Italy 70 feet above sea-level, the island of Capraia 102 miles away can often be seen as well. If Earth were a ball 25,000 miles in circumference, Capraia should always remain hidden behind 5,605 feet, over a mile of supposed curvature.

how do you explain why you can't always see the island from Genoa, even on clear days, but only when specific atmospheric conditions amenable to superior images are present?
if the earth were flat, you could see this every clear day -- on a clear day you should be able to see Algeria from Genoa. so show me pictures of Algeria from Genoa .. ? with a telescope you should be able to see the great pyramid from Athens. where are those pics?

Well, right off the bat, the numbers you are providing are wrong, but this is to be expected from information without sources. Secondly, Monte Castello on Capraia has an elevation of 447m. With 300m observation height in Genoa and and refraction coefficient of 0.2 at a distance of 164km you get 170.9 km of added intersecting sight lines. Capraia is as visible as the Earth is round.
