I remember as a kid flying out of CMH right around Jul 4th and seeing fireworks, we were 5-10 min out, it was a perfectly clear night.
They were actually pretty "small" as we were a couple miles away from them and we were above them. But I did see them and thought it was pretty neat.
got to see fireworks while over redwood city on final to sfo a few years back. quite cool tho a bit weird as you could see the contrail "coming up" and then when they would go off, no sound-kinda surreal
