Because the plane belongs to UPS ("United Parcel Service").

Sometimes it does. But it refuses to give them drink service. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

I've tried taking pictures exactly like this one. It's hard to get the exposure right. This was a very clear night. The sky isn't all washed out.

Around here the light pollution around the airport would kill any chance.

I just dug out an old shot I took in 1994 at Washington National. There's a cool park right next to the end of the runway in the flight path of the approach. This is a long exposure that caught a couple flights. Flights are about a minute apart, so this must be a 3-4 minute exposure.

Just as long as they're packaged properly.
