I am in BNA and was able to watch it. Pictures so no justice!

I missed it. I was in the jumpseat of a e175 and couldn't see up at all.

Indy Center was on a ground stop due to "Eclipse Events," They quoted one of my flights an hour and twenty take off clearance at the dept. end of the runway. Fortunately our ATC guru was able to get that significantly cut down.

I flew down to BNA to watch it from the parking garage roof and then got the jumpseat back to MSP shortly after. We were told to shut em down on the ramp because ZME ran out of squawk codes. An hour later they started departing 20 MIT. There must have been 25 corporate jets lined up for takeoff.
