    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    using web services for live flight tracking is not an accurate way to ensure you do not lase an aircraft. Believe it or not, I have actually tracked my own flight, in flight - and while passing over a waypoint on the FMS - the tracking software showed me 35 miles behind me and about 15 miles...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    Howdy, Hey, I am starting to feel better - the first week or so after the surgery I was put on Ketamine and was out of my mind- pain was out of control and was totally suicidal - willing to kill myself just to make the pain stop. I am a day shy of 8 weeks post surgery and I feel much better...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    FYI - I have been in and out of the hospital - I have been home but in a ton of pain. In about 24 hours I have an extremely scary surgery - I hope to be out of ICU within 3 weeks - and when I do I have a long road to recovery and PT. I got my first relatively high powered laser 3 days ago -...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    Handhelds - no - but there are lab lasers that could damage something. But I agree that handhelds, at least for the foreseeable future are harmless. I am new to your site - so I am sorry if this is well known here, but there was a ground based laser called MTHEL (should be declassified by now)...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    Howdy, Seems like you are a little upset at the government - and hey, I don't blame you. But you seem upset at my posts - and I don't know where that came from. I am a laser enthusiast myself - I was building lasers 23 years ago - and continue to use lasers. You just have to be a good...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    Thanks for the heads up. Was about to get a green laser from them. I have been thinking about using lasers in the cockpit. I still think it makes a lousy weapon against terrorism, but I see the potential for search & rescue. In those roles every little bit can help - daylight best wavelength...

    I have interest in the working laser, glasses, batteries, charger and focusing lens. I have no use for the broken laser. Is your laser still for sale? What brand/ where did you buy it? What wavelength? 445? Is there a warranty still valid from original sale? Will you guarantee the laser...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    That may work if you live in a rural area, but the position displayed on sites like flightaware.com lags a bit. For security reasons the exact position is never displayed. Don't forget that military and government aircraft (air force 1 for example) are not always displayed on aircraft...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    There are many defense mechanisms in place which I cannot disclose for obvious reasons. If all the other defenses were not effective a laser wouldn't be a good enough weapon unfortunately. It is a very small space and by the time they entered the cockpit only deadly force should be used. Perhaps...

    Is it legal to point a 150mw green laser in the sky? In the US?

    Most of the incidents I have heard about came out of the New York area, specifically LaGuardia (KLGA) - It probably has a lot to do with the density of people. There are other areas that have laser tracking teams ready, and they have the ability to triangulate the location of the laser to...
