Three Reasons:
1) A large passenger plane is tootling about with 1.5 hours until landing, but the landing gear is down.
2) On a different flight you can see a storm is raging from the cockpit view, but cut to the passengers and the windows are nice and bright.
3) "It would be risky, but we do have a modified jet that could be used for an air-to-air transfer. We developed it for refueling." This jet just happens to be an SR-71.
Bonus: the journalists assistant is named Jimmy.
