    People still do this crap? Bunch of inbred morons

    Anyone who gets caught doing this should be strapped to a table and have their own laser aimed straight at their junk

    i've been lucky and it hasn't happened to me but i know a pilot who got lased and managed to lose about 400ft altitude during the encounter. not necessarily a good thing when you're only traveling at 500ft!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    There have men many posts about this before and it will continue, here is my take taken from the thread the last time this happened

    I would never do this as I understand what would happen, but your average Joe Jack@ss has no idea and is quite innocent as they do not understand....Unlike the dumbass I watched a bar do it to a uniformed police officer.... BIG MISTAKE!

    If I did see it happen, there would be a lot of static!!!!

    Here is the thread with all of our views

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    It is all good, no problems here. Just bringing back one of the other threads with good discussions.

    It happens more than people know, especially around this area! There have been numerous lazing incidents all throughout N.J. in the past year... I've been "lazed" twice over Afghanistan at altitudes over 20,000' - not a big deal.. Can't imagine getting lazed by the same strength laser at 1,000 or 2,000'!
