I cannot personally speak for the "a few hundred miles", but I have
experienced mountain wave within ten nm of the lee side of the

Here in NC you can get mountain waves a few hundred miles downwind from
the Appalachians, though I've never experienced anything as severe as

mountain waves, though.

Some where around here I have some photos of lenticular clouds over
the Michigan, Ohio border taken from the company King Air.

The Pilot and copilot were remarking that was something you just don't
see around here, but there they were.
