This isn't very good advice for the sole reason that it can get you jail time and/or fines if you are pointing that at an aircraft. It's reach is far enough to flash in the cockpit and endangering the people on board that flight.

Still dangerous advice to those with no common sense. How many people out there mistaken aircraft for alien UFO's? There are those that will be pointing green lasers at everything hoping to get a glimpse of the infamous "project blue beam" which has yet to be proven.
Thought I would mention that thread where a guy posted his experience of looking directly at the sun and seeing two suns when he closed his eyes....people actually started to do this....seriously, people have no common sense sometimes, gotta be careful with them.edit on 27-8-2011 by topherman420 because: (no reason given)

Calm down? Im not hyped up im just instilling the fact of a lack of common sense on this site and around the world. Yeah they could get arrested, after blinding a pilot temporarily and killing everyone on board after it crashes. You can try and tell people "don't point at any airplanes" but you can't change stupid no matter how hard you yell at them.
I completely understand your logic and what you would use the pointer for, but even if it was an unintentional amateur astronomer mistake, it carries a heavy consequence, which is enough to maybe not even start pointing at things in the sky with lasers to begin with.edit on 27-8-2011 by topherman420 because: (no reason given)
