I drew a line from Wallops to Fairfax to find a good place to watch the launch. Looks like one of the few places is the Occoquan Reservoir.

Hopefully you get the movie reference!!!
Have not seen anything the last few launches from Western FFX County even though they say you should be able to? Maybe it is light pollution or the booster just does not get high enough to break the horizon with all the tree's and such. Supposedly Chincoteague is a great place to see them and you can get a room for the night and not have to drive back the same day.

I would say yes based on this video. The "Atomic Bomb" comment is rather stupid.
