TBH I think catching spy satellite film cannister re-entry vehicles, during their descent stage in the air, with aircraft was slightly more impressive.

I think a bond movie used that as a plot point at one point too, again based on reality.

(Although the 'film canister' vehicles were larger than most people would imagine, I guess)
