Blinding Lights in the Sky
U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Miguel Gibson, 31st Fighter Wing flight safety manager, demonstrates how pointing a laser at an HH-60 Pave Hawk can illuminate the cockpit at Aviano Air Base, Italy, October 12, 2023. Laser strikes on aircraft, often referred to as "lasing," have become a growing concern for aviation safety in recent years, as it can cause blindness, distraction and potential long-term eye damage to pilots and crew members.
