New Zealand: Student pilot illuminated twice by laser

An airplane piloted by a student was illuminated two times within five minutes by a green laser. The incident happened as the student pilot and instructor were flaying around Wellington Airport at 10:15 pm on February 25 2020.

At about the same time a day earlier, another small aircraft was targeted near the airport.

In both cases, the aircraft was able to land safely but a perpetrator was not found.
