OH! If you ever see a flock of birds flying, (this works best towards dusk so you can see the beam) let loose on em. They dive and swerve do barrel rolls to evade the laser it's AWESOME! ;D
Yeah, I've tried that! It's so funny because you can continue doing it again and again to the same flock! ;D

Direction relative to the aircraft and cockpit. A beam aimed directly at an incoming aircraft gives the greatest risk to pilots. One aimed across the aircraft's travel gives less risk, partially because the light enters through the side windows, and partially because it is harder to keep the beam aimed exactly at the cockpit area. A beam aimed straight up gives the least risk, although it is still possible for the beam to illuminate the cockpit during a banking turn.
in my case,i was trying to shine at a plane that was heading away,so it would of hit the back of the plane casuing nothign to be seen or happen.
Now, for some reason, I think this is a forgery. The grammar, thought, and vocabulary is WAY higher then what I've seen in Wes so far. I believe this is not your words, probably a more intelligent friend helping your mischievous thoughts. I don't believe a word you said, and I hope to God that you know better then to shine your lasers at aircrafts.
Whether or not my accusations are correct, I feel as if you are abusing this forum, and –rep really doesn’t mean anything to people of your type. I may be wrong, but I think you should consider your purpose here at LPF, because it’s a privilege I’m beginning to question you deserve. [/quote]
[edit] Situational factors
Day vs. night. Almost all concern is over nighttime illumination. The three visual effects listed above (distraction, glare and flash blindness) are minimized during the day since the eye is not dark adapted, and since visible lasers are not often used outdoors in daytime.
Motion and speed of the aircraft. A slow aircraft is at greater risk than a fast one (relative to travel across the viewer's line of sight). Helicopters are at greatest risk because they can hover, presenting a relatively stationary target.
Distance to the aircraft. A low-flying aircraft is at greater risk. Again, helicopters are vulnerable due to their close ground proximity.
Direction relative to the aircraft and cockpit. A beam aimed directly at an incoming aircraft gives the greatest risk to pilots. One aimed across the aircraft's travel gives less risk, partially because the light enters through the side windows, and partially because it is harder to keep the beam aimed exactly at the cockpit area. A beam aimed straight up gives the least risk, although it is still possible for the beam to illuminate the cockpit during a banking turn.
