God there are some fools posting here. As above, I've been 'hit' a number of times now, and I'm sure others have. To say it's somehow OK because no crash has been caused to date is simply insane. At the very least it's incredibly distracting (at a time you really do not want to be distracted), at worst it can temporarily affect vision.
OK. Nobody has died so far, and that somehow makes it acceptable? Loss of vision on an approach is about the worst scenario. Most times, it will indeed be fine. But, as we all know, if the holes in the cheese all line up, then an additional factor can make all the difference.
I do not see it as some sort of joke. I see it as a massive disaster waithing to happen. Anyone who thinks it is anything else is mad.
