12 more laser strikes reported near Sea-Tac Airport, per FAA

Yet another case of turnabout is fair play. Catch them - and make them drive a mountain pass at night and then shoot lasers at them. If they drive off a cliff- maybe the next moron will learn.

Fines are not enoug! Jail time. Mandatory minimum, no limit on maxi -mum. It is a committed life threatening crime! More than brandishing a firearm; it is aim - fire discharge of a lethal weapon.

I reported a laser illumination to the FA on departure from ORD a couple of years ago. Green laser that appeared to originate from a residential area. Hopefully that made it to the pilot and FAA.

If you’re caught shining a laser at a plane or a helicopter on purpose, it can be costly. Fines can top $11,000 for the first violation and up to nearly $31,000 for several violations.
except in seattle. where you will be released after booking.
sgt. doofus tim meyer should be ashamed of himself for talking so tough.

Link is not working

Does anyone doubt that a laser-using antifa-stronghold that tolerates these vermin also has a high incidence of these strikes?

The page opened once to a paywall sign up page. Next article.

Iwas one of those reports in this article.

Dead link

Link wouldn’t work on mobile. 😢

One would hope they would be charged with attempted murder.

A pilot I follow on TikTok had to deal with a laser at Sea-Tac last week.

Do you know the name of the material?

Yeah, still bad link OR because I use an ad-blocker which I won't disable. See-ya

Every plane needs to be equipped with cheap plastic retro reflectors. These are highly efficient at reflecting the laser light back to the source at high levels blinding the culprit(s). These 2" to 4" retro-reflectors are commonly attainable at any industrial control supply store. They are less than $5 each, self-adhesive and durable. 6-8 of them on the bottom and sides of any plane would be an effective deterrent to these insane and dangerous pranks.
