I filled out the form on AC 70-2 and faxed it in. I was thinking about
notifying the aviation dept of Hartford's local PD since they would be
both familiar with the area and in the best position to catch the
*******. Thoughts?


What altitude where you at?

I would bet that a kid with a handheld laser pointer might be very difficult
to catch and prosecute, and I bet even a handheld laser pointer will create a
flash in your eye at 2000 feet, even if the beam has diffused enough that the
"operator" won't be able to tell for sure where it's hitting your plane...

I just hope that the noise grumblers don't get the same idea...
