Can you see the "Curve of the Earth" from 128,000 feet?

It’s impossible to see any curvature from an airplane (I made thousands of flights and never could see it). People that says otherwise are just trolling or plain stupid.
Quoting: OurLifeIsALie Well if you google up pictures from airplane windows, you can see it on them pictures too Plenty of google results about seeing it, from pilots to scientists and whatnot.. Here's one from some news article: "It is possible to see the effect of the curvature of the earth from sea level (ships disappearing over the horizon). To actually see the curvature directly (ie to be able to see the horizon as an arc, rather than a straight line) requires an altitude of over 50,000 feet."
