Saw the shuttle re-entry once during a night landing. Freaking amazing.

Grew up in central Florida.  Used to be able to see the liftoffs & hear the boom of the landings.  Sometimes they would land really early in the morning & wake everyone with the boom.  They would let us out of class to watch the day liftoffs, but the night ones are amazing.  Even from a 45 minute drive away, you could still see it perfectly, day or night.  The night ones would light up the entire sky.

Yeah I was at my mom's in Houston a couple years ago & got to see the Shuttle going over head on it's way to land at night, it was freaking amazing, it left a glowing plasma trail behind it & was just moving at an unbelievable speed over head.

You sure that wasn't just a P-51 that missed a pick?
