I have no idea how they keep the planes stable enough to point a laser that accurately. All it takes is a tiny gust or bump and you'd completely miss the missile.
And imagine if the system malfunctioned and the laser accidentally fired towards the ground.

Statistic: You would need to fly once everyday for 15000 years before ever experiencing a fatal plane crash.

what if the villains decide to fire a missile as soon as your laser equipped plane flies over....
I mean it's still not a fighter jet the time for it to turn around and point at the missile the missile will be long gone at mach 3....
