Looking at the pictures you can see the horizon which is considerably more than 5km away.
5km is in reality pretty poor vis and unless you really needed to go somewhere I suspect you would,not even walk out to the aeroplane.
Imagine a typical large airport runway of 8000ft, picture yourself on a visual base leg, the far end of the runway is about 5km away. Would you fly in that visibility?
