Nah not really. Ads removed, no timeouts (after 30min), and a few different radar views with a few features to see VOR's/Waypoints.

You mean follow the ruling in the States to give a hefty jail sentence of 14 years?

Get them all up on a luxury flight while some of us shine a flew lasers up at their plane see how lucky they are (obviously they'd be piloting too)

YbFocus

As I said before, use them as the skid for the next possible minimum takeoff test

fr336

After watching this film the other day I imagine the laser kids to be something like the nutter guy in this http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xw3fhf_six-shooter-2004-martin-mcdonagh_shortfilms He starts at 3:22
(Bit of a disturbing vid btw )

Maybe if we handed out sentences similar to that over here it would be a deterant to these idiots who think its a good idea to shine lasers at aircraft.

Oscar Bravo

A Gulfstream II, N412AP , is on finals for Shannon now.

CNTRLR

the laser thing is a funny one, never understood it, nor the fun to be had from it, Was working recently and had report from aircraft up to FL400 being targeted, but that was french airspace and apparently it happens almost every night in the major french cities..

Presumably the same fun that's to be had by chucking concrete blocks down onto cars on a motorway. Bored scum with no thoughts as to the consequences of their actions. :mad:

At least they get immediate "feedback" when they throw rocks onto a motorway. What are they expecting at an airport? A fiery crash?

Stupid, stupid people.

I'm T-EIIR3. Using DVB-T stick.
Not always online due to the dreadful internet here in North Clare.
Also with variable range at the moment as I'm testing various antennae; current setup with a homemade dipole is getting me up to a max of 250NM (450km) to the west.

While I'm here can someone tell me what the F-, T-, N-, etc preceding the FR24 station-names mean?

F- means its one of the FR24 boxes; as far as I remember T- is DVB-T and N- is for other dedicated ADS-B units that aren't the FR24 box.

F-EIDW2 is just by Killiney Hill

Some idiot decided to shine a laser at one of our aircraft, next thing he knew was that he was getting surrounded by helicopters with guns pointing towards him, I'm not sure it they ever allowed him out of jail
