So, when flying an aircraft at 250km/hr, with 250 people on board, 1200' above ground, less than 2 minutes from touchdown, the LAST thing any pilot (or passenger) needs is laser attack right into the eyes!!! That happened to me Thursday night into Melbourne when some imbecile decided to target several aircraft from about 2 miles away. I have seen many, very bright lights in my time, but NOTHING compares to the power of these little hand held beasts. Thank God we landed safely and my eyes are ok..Although a bit of a "gritty" feeling. We looked at Google Maps and narrowed the area for the Police and Feds to head towards...we can only hope & pray they get caught!
