As previously mentioned, I like to "see" the night. When I was a child I lived near an airport/RAF base. My attic bedroom overlooked the flight path and I can remember watching the fast jets and of course the passenger aircraft coming and going from my vantage point in bed. In those days the elfs hadn't been making too much fuss about noise etc so when the Lightnings took off they, just about in line with my bedroom window, stood them on their tails on full afterburner and shot almost vertically into the sky. Thrilling sight and sound for anyone but for a small boy...
No, I feel I will be spending quite enough time ( eternity? ) lying down in total darkness and silence in due course to want to experience too much of that while I'm still breathing !
