My home node made contact with what I think was someone flying by with a RAK module. The GPS put it at a distance of 47 miles and height of 36,000 feet, along the path airlines would take from New Orleans to Houston.

I've had contacts with more distant nodes but this one was able to confirm receipt and I got a valid traceroute back.

That’s neat, I literally just got one from a SWA plane from New York, haha!

People are having fun on planes with these, I saw I post the other day about someone doing that.
