Although I wouldn't normally come back to a remark Airbubba's has to be the most crass I've seen in a long time.

1.If indeed
I guess all the folks "dotting" planes don't know that
this is happening around your area maybe Cleatus the slack jawed yokel isn't that far behind.There must certainly be a lot of morons there.Duuuuh I'm just goin outside to paint me a plane with this laser I got from e-bay.

Maybe the gravity makes the photons fall before they get that high...
If you maybe knew just a smidgen about our atmosphere you will notice that we do not live in a pure vacuum.The air we breathe has all sorts of bits in it most of them not conducive for laser light transmission from a cheap e-bay 200mW laser with poor optics.
How close are these ' folks' to the planes???
Do not try to compare cheap lasers with the ones they use in light shows either.These are high powered with top quality optics.
