The only launch I have seen was from one of the range safety aircraft. Got a great view of the last Challenger launch. That was enough.
Shucks. You beat me. I was gonna brag about being on a charter Navy Flight DC-9 and the pilot saying... "Look out the left side of the aircraft and you will see the Concord passing us at twice the speed!"... And then a few minuets later... "Look out the right side of the aircraft and you will see the Shuttle Launch!"...
We were due west of Kennedy and looking down at the launch pad at about a 45 degree angle. What a view!
