    I'd like like to find out msyelf.....but my math knowledge doesn't go that high.
    I guess its the curvature of the earth and the distance from the shuttle are the 2 main factors. I guess one would lose site of the shuttle before the curvature of the earth becomes a factor.

    senga, who's flying that OV-10?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Matt,
    It is operated by the United States Department Of State (DOS)
    They have a few OV-10s there and their operation are still kind of shadey and not fuly known. But I did read that they are mainly used as anti-drug smuggling surveillance aircraft.
