I was in Florida around Easter '98 (photo album) and had the luck to watch the launch of STS 90 (Neurolab). Even though Titusville is about 20 kilometers away from the launch pad it was a fascinating view as well as sound. The image to the left was taken with a plain camera without any zoom, at the bottom right of the full scale imager you can see the VAB.
