Laser Aimed at F-35s Lands 10 Months

Arizona man William Wilson got caught shining lasers at F-35 fighter jets during training flights, admitting to at least eight incidents between last fall and this year. Pilots reported vision impairment mid-flight, prompting FBI intervention that caught him red-handed in his backyard. Authorities found both red and green lasers at his home. Though Wilson claimed he knew targeting commercial planes was dangerous, he targeted military aircraft anyway, calling them “spy planes” flying too close. Prosecutors recommended a lighter sentence due to his health and remorse, resulting in a 10-month jail term and a year of probation — a serious punishment for a seemingly small act with potentially catastrophic consequences.
