Thanks for pointing that out. Anyone shining a laser into the cockpit of a plane should be held accountable, whether you're a white looney tune or an Islamic jihadist.
That's pilot code for "I was blinded by a laser and refuse to report it to the FBI" /sarcasm
I'm blonde :)
LOL.
Looks like it was too heavy due to load on the wings.
The new generation of small jets (4-6 seats) have very low overall operating costs, owner or single pilot operation, and access to much smaller airports. They will revolutionise corporate travel.
"My little red laser pointer that I use to annoy the cats is strong enough to hurt your eyes should you be foolish enough to get it in your eyes. "
Reminds me of a story. A friend was messing around with a bottle of saline solution and accidentally sprayed it into another friend's eye. The victim starts screaming "You got it in my eye!"
The sprayer "it's saline solution, it GOES in your eye"

Forgive me for not reading this whole thread, but I can't be the first person to wonder whether Hillary is somehow involved.
Thats's OK, the knob on Fox this morning kept calling it a Challengair!
>>>looks to me like the SUV saved their lives..
NOW HERE is a conspiracy theory if I ever saw one!
Mattar of fact, Ken is just hiding the fact that it was the SUV that caused this plane to skid into a building!
::giggles::
*chuckle*
I love that graphic!
The one with no roof was a Chrysler Intrepid.
Actually, you can. I knew something was missing from this thread.
My apologies... Mrs. Velveeta. I guess I was just speculating again. Oh wait.. speculation started this.
Maybe it was a
woman pilot and she was
talking on a phone,
putting on makeup
and eating her yogurt while
she was taking off . . .
It was the SUV that ATTRACTED the plane FROM the runway.
The plane was so angered at seeing the evil SUV, that it had to go and show it who was boss.
I think I'm having trouble visualizing how the lazer would be pointed at the cockpit and hit the pilots.
Wouldn't you have to be up higher than the plane?
I had heard that they were no longer allowed as search lights, as in light the sky for a grand opening.
I haven't seen one, but didn't they invent laser light shows?
Pretty sure there was a report that they had been stopped.
LOL!
"Doc! Doc! It hurts when I do this!"
'Well, then don't do that..'
For whatever reason, that poppeed into my head upon reading the saline solution thing.
