Listen, i live exactly at 25 miles of a 200 meters-high buildin,g and on the best westher conditions you can hardly spot it against the sky. Imagine trying to spot a 10 meter plane, lol
I don't think they are nautical miles (if they are then I missed it).. so in our countries it should be 50-65km.

Anyway how can be the windshield "high visible"? Try to guess...
