I take it the flying lessons would include being blinded at some stage of your landing, albeit with the luxury of knowing there's a safety pilot ready to take over ?

Better make it a strong 'dose' to leave temporary effects even after landing, as some have suffered.

As pointed out earlier on this thread, what the hell do you do with the things ?

I can imagine about 5 minutes of ' gee, I've got a laser just like in the films ' but after that it's useless - leading to stupid acts like pointing at aircraft.

I've seen much the same thing with people who bought high speed radio controlled cars - after a while of go straight, go left, go right, they ended up deliberately crashing the things just 'for fun'.

These l*sers can't be cheap - why not get something you'll probably get a lot more enduring fun out of, like a r/c aircraft - you're obviously vagueley into aircraft to find this site.
