I was up in my 210 during totality. Didn't have glasses so I didn't look up, but it was noticeably darker.

I wasn't directly in totality, but within a few miles of it... I actually heard Memphis Center turn traffic away just prior. I also had a few dozen aircraft headed south that I had to dodge afterwards.

Crossed paths with it over the Midwest. The F/A's said the cabin went totally dark with the all the windows open. Dark enough in the cockpit to want to turn up the lights, an orange-yellow hued light before and after for several minutes. Watched the shadow diverge away to the SE.
