Quote from PDR and I can't remember how to do quotes, can't be bothered to find out and am even less bothered to provide much by way of justification for my post. It happened.

I was lasered recently at 7000' near MAN

Can you provide any independent cites for this? I'm just baulking a little bit at the marksmanship required to target an aeroplane's cockpit windows from a range of several miles and would like some confirmation that it actually happens (and with what equipment).


No I can't. I just made it up because I was feeling left out.
