No it's not a faulty memory! You would see the sun rise again, but you would only get partial disk rising in something like a Viscount (IMO!). However, set off in a jet for the West Coast, and as you go up toward Iceland and west across Greenland, the sun not only rises again a long way, but stays up there for 9 hours right in your eyes, then as you arrive at LAX, it drops below the horizon at last. Quite disconcerting to get used to.
