DHL has a terminal at March ARB, and I often wake up at 3am to the sound of their plane. (I'm sure they have more than 1, but that'a the one that wakes me up! LOL)

Slightly O/T but...
Living outside ANC in a town called Eagle River, I am used to having jets fly overhead all hours of the night, first with the redeyes taking off, and the FedEx/UPS operations that commence from the airport. The jets are fairly high, but still rattle the walls and windows occasionally, and can get annoying when one is trying to sleep...
Then again, I'm sure people around IND/LAX/ATL experience the same. I am not "in the city" per se, but its still annoying. Smaller planes are like mosquitoes, you just ignore them. Blackhawks are interesting... but only emerge during the day on runs from military installations in the area, but do fly quite low... Also are fun are the F-15's and other Air Force jet aircraft, but these are less common...

I hope they are not still spending people and plane resources transporting cancelled checks.
This act of 5 years ago was supposed to eliminate the silly need to ferry checks back and forth, when all you need is the few standard bits of information on them.
