'Josh' I wouldn't be anywhere near blw 5ooo' in a PC unless I could glide to the rwy almost vertically so laser hits in that type of airframe wouldn't be a problem unless taking off of course in which case you would have yr head inside the cockpit anyway with eyes glued to the engines gauges (& getting right with Jesus) & not having to worry about getting zapped!
Gee 'S8' don't hold back buddy
:-) Until someone important gets killed/injured from such an attack (lasering) then little will get done about it.
I've not seen one of these laser lights I wonder if they are freely available? High powered units should perhaps be linked together with firearms (with all there restrictions) for the sale of such items perhaps if not already?
