No Planes, at night, in the UK - So can we fire lasers aloft

[smogthemog]

UK air space is closed so no planes in the UK, at night, at the moment so surely there is no restrictions on firing lasers into the sky?

I'd say that you might be mistaken....

However you could at least use it to see if one was coming your way

Dunno if you worked it out but if you click the planes you get full realtime long/lat, alt, origin, destination, airspeed, groundspeed, etc and plotted flightpath.

Very very cool indeed.

Wow!

Saw a plane on the screen this morning at 06:15 and thought 'that ain't gonna happen' - looked out of the conservatory window and there it was in the sky The first one to go over here since all the volcano polava!
The first one I have seen for days!!!
What a cool site!

I live near Biggin Hill, had a few planes going over for the past few days. And dont forget helicopters, they have been around too. That sight does not show Biggin Hill on the map.
