A similar thing happened in Utah the other day. It wasn't an airplane, but an Apache Helicopter.

Default Man arrested for shining laser

BURIEN, Wash. -- Seattle Police have arrested a man they believe was responsible for shining a laser at pilots near Sea-Tac Airport over the past month.

A 24-year-old Burien man was taken into custody around 4 p.m. Friday. Police seized a laser at the man's home and booked him into the King County jail, where he is being held on investigation of 1st degree unlawful discharge of a laser, which is a felony.

Several pilots have reported being targeted by lasers over the past month or so near Sea-Tac Airport. There were four incidents on Wednesday, one last Sunday, and another dozen reports in February.
