Corrected entry: When Silk Spectre visits Night Owl she touches and notes the dusty aircraft under the canvas, as if it hasn't been used for a while. In fact at the start of the movie as the cops are investigating the Comedian crime scene, we see the aircraft hovering and listening in. Also, the aircraft has to go through a body of water each trip it makes, which would wash off any dust.

Correction: That wasn't Nite Owl's ship hovering near the crime scene at the beginning of the movie. It was just a fancy looking blimp. Not only is Nite Owl just a regular civilian at this point, but the movie also shows him to be having a beer with Hollis Mason at Mason's garage at roughly the same time the crime scene is being investigated. Not to mention that he doesn't even find out about the murder until he gets home later and finds Rorschach in his kitchen. He doesn't use his ship for the first time in the movie's present timeline until a few scenes after Silk Spectre is shown inspecting it.
