I have heard (Read: Urban Legend) that aircraft pilots commonly report seeing rainbows that are entirely circular. This is something I have not as yet experienced, hence the "Urban Legend" annotation.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

Rainbows are actually full circles, but we usually only see a portion of them due to the horizon blocking the rest. However, if you were to get a vantage point high enough, such as from an airplane or a tall mountain, you could potentially see the full circle of a rainbow.
