Yep, I’ve seen that from the air.
But how cool to see it while skydiving!

Well, d'uh, have they never seen a moon-bow, or the one around a garden sprinkler ??
FWIW, may I recommend the classic, 'Rainbows, Halos and Glories' by Robert Greenler ?? (CUP)
Not cheap but, IMHO, not a wasted word, diagram or photo...
As I understand it, there are still arguments on exactly how some of the rarer, ultra-faint arcs of rain and ice bows come to be.
Also, I had fun explaining to a friend why his monochromatic 'disco' laser could not produce a multi-coloured bow...
