Was that YOU?

Landing in Atlanta about 8 last nite, we broke out of the clouds about 20 miles west at 8000 feet. Below I saw a neighborhood that appeared well lit (with lights, that is). One house was blinky and flashy. Congrats! You can be seen from the air!

On another note, news in Memohis yesterday was reporting a house that had to shut off the lights. An errantly aimed laser apparently hit a plane overhead. If THAT was you, whoopsie!

And that's why there are NO LASERS in my display.  I would be courting disaster being in the "direct" flight paths of two extremely busy airports, one OIA, the major one.    And I've seen some really LOW flying planes going to both, lower than they should be over my area.  So I'd never take the chance of trying to use any laser light based product in my display.

Same here.. NO Way Lasers will ever be in my display..

 

main flight path coming from all points east/north east of Los Angeles, and many other places go right over head here... Air Force Plant 42 is about 4 mi away (downhill, Boeing, NASA, Northrup, and a lot of others are all in site of my place...

 

Edwards AFB 40 mi away can be seen from my yard as I am on the side of a mountain. The Space Shuttle use to fly directly over my house on its path to Edwards when it cam in from the West.. I could stand outside and watch it go over and get the DOUBLE SONIC BOOMS from it, ... 45 seconds later it was landing at Edwards..

 

The South West Coast Air Traffic Control is about 4 mi from my house and I am in the flight path of most north south air traffic from San diego going north south from everywhere no=rth and south of here...lol

 

Also The Emergency Air Transport helo for the CHP and LOS Angeles county goes directly over my house when they have to make a transfer from Palmdale Ca to the LA area.
