Only country I know that has that hardware (for lazing bomber pilots) was the Soviet Union. Nyet.
You can buy necessary equipment on Ebay for a couple hundred bucks.

Soviet freighter did this to a pilot(commercial) over Puget Sound between USA and Canada a couple of years ago.

To elaborate, that means he was injured when a laser was aimed at his eyes, right?

Wasn't this (blinding pilots in a cockpit with a laser beam) in a Clancy novel?

I heard the same report. I think they said the injury was to the pilot's eyes. They did say the plane landed safely at SLT but did not mention where it came from.
To: ableChair
WHOA!
I would assume it would have to come from satellite or a higher aircraft???
Getting flakey out there, folks!

I just heard this on Greta's show when she was talking to Bill Gertz. Bill said that the pilot had to be treated for eye injuries. If planes can get knocked out of the sky by ground-based lasers, there's a big, big problem.
To: ableChair
Actually it was Bill Gertz, who said it on Greta's show.

Some telescopes (including untold numbers of amateur scopes) have lasers mounted on them. The laser spot can be used either for alignment or for tracking atmospheric aberrations in order to correct them with adaptive optics. Some lasers systems are also used commercially for sky-writing.

A pilot inside a commercial jet doesn't even have a forward view during straight and level flight. Maybe out the side window, but nothing but cockpit panel out the front. In order to effectively laze into the cockpit, you'd have to be in a position above the airplane.
