Hi all new poster been reading for a few days budding flyer and airport worker (security unfortunately!!)

Me and my friend had this happen to us flying vfr after departing LPL at night last year the beam was on my side of the aircaft it was green and at first i thought it was from top of a night club building in the way the laser was being pointed back and forth until it targeted us a few times we then changed course away from it to avoid being exposed to the laser light and immediately reported it to ATC and we ascertained that it was coming from west kirby and all credit to the folks at LPL they contacted the police and as we were coming back from the southport area flying high over Woodvale ATC advised that there would be traffic taking off from Woodvale the police helo going to deal with our problem!!
