A few years ago, we had an outright blizzard in Truckee on Memorial Day.

Flightradar24 uses ADSB receivers to locate the planes.

On that site I saw one lightning strike in northern California. We very rarely get lightning here near the coast; we go years without seeing or hearing any. The power poles here do not have a high ground wire to take the strikes, like in most places.
I miss lightning. In New Orleans we got great thunderstorms.

I'm not sure I hope you get your wish. That might mean severe weather that could do a lot of damage.
Singapore has some amazing lightning shows! Pretty cool from 20th floor of a hotel, feels like it's all around you. Maybe it is!
Airplanes can fly higher than 60,000 feet , but not your commercial airplanes.
I did a quick check on line expecting to find the SR-71 or a F 104 holding the record. But found a NASA electric plane that flew over 96,000 feet in horizontal flight.
