ORD TRACON was pretty busy last night, so we had to wait to check in for a couple of minutes. Just ahead of us, we heard TRACON issue an airliner a warning about an unauthorized laser illumination event:
TRACON:
“Airline XXX, unauthorized laser illumination event at 0035Z, ten miles west of PWK, reported at 7,000 feet — a green laser.”
Airliner XXX:
“Roger. Airline XXX. We’ll be — [short pause] — not looking.”
