Laser Beams In Pilots' Eyes

[Fenestron]

I've heard through the grapevine from a pilot that some of these people are just amateur aviation enthusiasts using laser range finders on approaching planes because they're curious and don't realize what harm they can do/are doing.

 

Then again.... some of these people are just idiots endangering other peoples well being/lives just because they don't like the sound of aviation. :angry:

 

Makes me wonder... if they're that angered by loud sounds, do they throw cinder blocks in the middle of the road when motorcycles drive past?

 

 

 

Sorry Murdoch....the motorcycles you refer to (at least the ones I would ride) would be so far down the road, throwing cinder blocks would be pointless. Now, if you were riding a hardly davidson......you are going so slow and making so much noise, the upset townsfolk could easily build a mortar and brick wall, and let it cure in plenty of time before the hardly even gets there. Once the hardly rider spots said wall.....his poor brakes would be hard pressed to stop in time. Boom.....one more taken care of.....I'm glad they're like lemmings and follow each other in large groups, much easier to take out a bunch at a time.

 

To keep it on topic though, my advice to the pilots is don't look at the light. I think normal human curiosity would tend to draw you to look for the source if you saw a laser beam cutting through the smog and pollution. Please guys, don't fall prey to the temptation......if you see a laser beam cutting a swath through the night....look gazingly at your co-pilot with the love he deserves.....don't look at the light......

Easy there Fenestron, I think we're on the level in terms of motorcycle taste. I'd rather be leaned over on a Honda than leaned back on a Harley... Though I did have a momentary lapse in judgement a week ago while looking at that T-shirt thread... and that's practically what that T-shirt was... a thread.

That 'Hardly Davidson' analysis is pretty amusing, nothing against those guys though, to each his (or her) own.

 

hmmm, what were we talking about... lasers, yeah. Shine a laser in anyones eyes who does this kind of thing. What's that old saying? An eye for an eye, HA!
