I still don’t know how the police found my compound where I ran an illegal searchlight depot/covert blimp airfield/fireworks testing range.

…And that the thing they’re shining a laser at famously knows exactly where it is located, and has two guys sitting in the front seats who are extensively skilled and identifying the range and bearing of things around them.
It’s not like that. At that distance, the beam is wide enough to cover a large part of the cockpit, not to mention the glare. It’s literally blinding light.
Have you ever had a truck flash its lights at you at night? It’s like that, but much, much stronger, and you’re in the most sensitive part of the flight, when if you fuck up, you crash.
What pilots are trained to do is switch off all the lights, so the idiot can’t see you and can no longer easily hit you with the laser. You can imagine that’s not safe either.
“That UFO just entered stealth mode!”
When will they equip planes with auto targetting lasers to instantly blind dumbasses who do this?
when the legal system stops prosecuting extremely negligent companies for hurting innocent bystanders in pursuit of prof… shit.
They should make it legal to shine lasers at aircraft. Rich people who fly low over residential areas for a hobby ought to fear for their eyesight.
Those residential areas with houses full of people that planes can crash into and kill everyone on the ground as well as in the air?
That’ll sure show the billionaires… somehow…
It would put a stop to irresponsible flying right-quick.
You know, you are very concerned about people respecting you to the point that you throw massive hissy fits about it, and yet you seem to show no concern whatsoever for the lives of innocent people if it furthers some political goal of yours. Which seems extremely disrespectful to humanity overall.
I doubt you’ll see the irony there, but I think everyone else will appreciate it.
Oh, it’s you. Drag already sent you a message asking you not to interact with drag. Drag will ask again: don’t bother drag any more.
Not my job to not respond to a comment on a public forum just because the person doesn’t like me. Especially not such an abhorrent one. That’s not how this works.
Oh goodness, you’re the one folks have been talking about. I am suddenly much less confused.
Pilots are in general not “rich people”. Many go into debt to get into the profession. Taylor Swift isn’t flying her own jet.
On the other hand, if the eyesight of a pilot gets damaged, it can fuck up their career that they put insane money into - again, likely from debt. Not speaking about having to switch professions and losing a life’s dream.
Drag isn’t talking about passenger and freight aircraft. Drag is talking about hobby aircraft. Rich people don’t fly planes for fun where you live?
