When its dark, you can't see anything. One of the things that attracts
people to flying is being able to see things from high above.

You've obviously never flown over a snow-covered landscape with a full moon
above.

Regarding a full moon, one of my most memorable night-time flights involved
flying an Angel Flight mission from Philadelphia (Wings Field) to Boston
(Bedford).

We were over central Long Island when we spotted a lone thunderstorm cell
about 75 miles off, somewhere near Providence, Rhode Island. Lightening,
moving up and down the cell, lit it up beautifully. As if this weren't
enough, the full moon appeared and slowly rose above the cell. Surreal.

My camera was safely on my desk at home.
