I for one have never noticed the curveature of the earth from the ground. However, in a week I plan to be at an elevation of 11,000ft. Perhaps I'll notice something.
I have however seen the curvature of the Earth from a plane on many occasions. Usually on transatlantic flights, for some reason it seems to be easier to see when you're closer to a pole. Also some neat indirect evidence of the curve of the Earth that I've seen from a plane is the termination line. When you're on a late afternoon/evening flight and you look out the window toward the east you can actually see the point on the earth where day ends and night begins, and from that point is a wall of darkness stretching up into the sky. And if you look a half hour later, you notice the wall of darkness is much closer to the plane.
