Chopperjess Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I got a spot light to the eyes on a night flight. Had my instructor in the helicopter, however. This is absolutely stupid. Who the hell has the brain power to believe pointing a laser at a helicopter is a good idea. We have enough to deal with to have to worry about being blinded by an idiot with a 5 dollar laser pointer! Quote
EAGLE1 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Happens more often than you think. It is just seldom reported. Here is a link to a recent arrest here in Orange County. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/police-...-helicopter-one Quote

Aussie_Fly_Guy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Stupidity is not just limited to helicopters or those here in the States ... its an international problem ...
