In 97 I got to watch a night launch from a Warrior. Beck then, the prohibited area was much smaller: if you were west of US1, you were safe. I figure we were maybe 7-8 miles away. The fire from the tail was bright enough to read the instruments.

There are two more on the books right now.
NASA - NASA's Shuttle and Rocket Launch Schedule
STS-134 April 19 (targeted for)
STS-135 June 28 (targeted for)
I'm hoping to go to Orlando for the April 19th launch.
