No, I just used the glasses occasionally to look at the sun and check the progress of the eclipse. Unless you're looking directly at the sun, you can't see anything through those glasses.

The temps dropped a few degrees and the sky darkened somewhat, like it would on a cloudy day, but otherwise the whole event was high on hype and completely anticlimactic. Think I'll make better plans for the next one in 2024.
Yeah, the big difference comes when the coverage is 100%. It's like going from a cloudy day to late dusk in about 30 seconds.
From 13,500 ft I was high enough to see light at the edge of the shadow all the way around. I'm told from friends who were on the ground below me that it was much darker at ground level.
