I wonder what the pilots think about having to fly
over that, could be blinding at the right angle and
time of day.
Wait, maybe they are only allowed to fly over it at
night...

Here is a
video by a guy who is flying in a light plane over the region. He describes (in the comments) a light source in the desert that he says is " ... blindingly bright, its center resembling something like when you look at a welder's torch"
The video is only 22 seconds long, but it's pretty clear.

I am a pilot who has had to fly over it regularly, and it is annoying to say the least. And that is with only one of the three plants working. . It is like having a constant reflection of the sun in your eyes from that position within 40 miles of it.
Very, very, very bright, like having a small sun on the ground. It isn’t dangerous, but you can’t stare at.
I imagine a lot of birds get fried.
