Worst case, go to the local media. He has police reports and documentation of injury. The public might be interested to know that the pilots flying them in and out of their home town are at risk of incapacitation from powerful lasers.
Yeah, no media. I don’t want the drama. It’s embarrassing enough it’s happened twice now just to me. We had one pilot a year ago get hit but don’t know the story. And no one else seems to be making a big deal out of this so I’m likely over reacting. I’ll put in a call to the FBI and leave it with them.
I get the danger but how much can we really do here? Both times I was able to safely land the plane without any concerns. I’m ****ed than I lost some work as a result but the company eventually came around and covered my losses through workers comp.
