 Note. Do *not* point where the beam might get
 in the eyes of a
 driver. *Really* don't
 aim where you might hit a pilot. That's a
 federal crime. With *severe* penalties. And
 that's because dazzling a
 pilot near
 the ground is a *really* bad idea. Not that it's a good

 idea at any time.

My dad started off flying B-24's in WWII, eventually got transferred to a B-17 outfit & finally wound up in a 'hush-hush' night-flying sqd that flew both.

One time he was flying below 1,000' & was looking down when he was suddenly hit w/ one of big ol' searchlights the germans used.

He was incapacitated for quite a period of time. He was very glad that there were two pilots in those planes.
