Lased flying into IND last night
 

Be careful flying around IND - I got hit in the face/eyes with a powerful green laser last night. We were descending through around 7,000' setting up for a right downwind to 5R when I saw a flash up above my head inside the cockpit. I looked up and saw nothing. I then saw something out of the corner of my eye coming from over my right shoulder… I looked right and got hit square with a bright green laser. It was very brief, but obviously I have concerns. We'll see what my next eye test uncovers.

The source appeared to come from E/NE - roughly a 060 course just outside of the tall buildings of downtown proper. I'm assuming it is a telescope mounted system as it seemed pretty accurate in hitting us more than one in the cockpit.

It would be nice to see these bozos caught.

You're not the first. Another crew got hit by a green laser, and got pulled off their trip.

Green beams can be 60+ times more powerful than standard red. I'm sure you reported it to ATC, but if not - a report to the FBI is in order. Hope your eyes are okay!

I got hit in Tokyo earlier this month & got a few days off due to being med-down. Total PIA, be careful out there!

happened in CMH (Columbus OH) last night. They (American Eagle) reported it to the tower, who reported it to Columbus Police. The police helicopter got lased and they caught the idiots. 2 charged with felonies. One of the suspects is an Army helicopter mechanic home on leave. Did I say idiots????

The Columbus Dispatch : Two charged with pointing laser at airplane, helicopter

Reported to ATC and then the company via flight safety report.

Goose,
Why would "they" laze a Humpy guy? Hope your all right.

They must not have heard you were 'hand' selected for Talons. I, too , hope you're ok.

I think we just found a nomination for the darwin award of stupidity. That is so stupid its funny.

Goose17, I don't want to be an alarmist, but, I would be going to an eye doc on the company's dime in IND if it was me. You shouldn't wait for your next physical to determine if there was eye damage. You could have a retina burn and not even realize it, if you looked directly at the laser.
Best of luck to you.
