The Little Arrow That Could
With getting lasered by some ****ing jack ass who was aiming at planes on final RWY18 at my refueling airport: Springdale Arkansas (KASG). At about 200 AGL I see a hovering green dot to my left that catches me off guard, turn, and I'm almost completely blinded. Guy had a true aim and held it there for a solid 3-4 seconds on and off before he left off. I hit full throttle and was going to go around and turn my tail away from where it was coming from, but I was able instead to rescue the landing.
I let ATC know as it was happening and plan to call tomorrow to see what comes of it.
Honest question: is there any protocol for what you're supposed to do if some **** stain lasers you?
On the plus side I made it down to Abilene TX. Pretty much one long night of flying. And my trip over Missouri was at sunset and got some nice photos. They might not size right uploading from my phone.
I was going to grab a seat on this nice park bench at the airport until I saw the sign. I ain't in Illinois anymore I guess!
