Ride on a U2 plane
This is a video of a plane at 70000 ft altitude, or 13 miles high - it is twice the distance of a commercial plane and you can see the horizon very clearly from up there - 13 miles on the ground does not seem far, but viewing from the air is altogether breath taking - truly awesome and amazing -

What a wonderful world!

That's a great video, it's amazing how high that thing flies.
