Unlikely. Re: viewing from the aircraft; you would need to know what part of the sky it’s in, I don’t know if you can see much above 45% anyway, and then there’s light pollution and reflections from the cabin. The cabin window glass is often dirty. I think these are dim comets as well, you typically need binoculars to make out more than a smudge at magnitude 4.5.
