Man Sentenced for Laser Pointing at Jets

Fifty-six-year-old William Wilson is heading to prison for ten months after pointing laser pointers at U.S. Air Force F-35 jets over five months — including hitting FBI pilots during a training flight. Authorities found his lasers at home and he confessed. This isn’t just reckless; it’s deadly serious — pilots, passengers, and people on the ground are at risk. The FBI and Air Force are cracking down, with nearly 300 pilots injured by lasers since 2010. Wilson joins a growing list of offenders, including a 57-year-old sentenced to nine days for the same crime — a stark warning that messing with aircraft is no game.
