Question Formula for VHF range anyone?

I seem to remember a formula for calculating the VHF range of a transmitter taking into account the curvature of the earth. I think that it was:

Square root (height in feet) x 1.something

I have forgotten what something is....does anyone know what something is and/or can actually confirm whether the formula is correct and whether the answer unit is statute miles or nautical miles?
