Lightning strikes can cause problems years later, (S76 crash in the 90's caused by blade strike) but checks are carried out before the a/c goes back on the line. depends on the intensity I guess.

I think there's something like 18+ strikes a year at least for offshore heli's but not sure if thats worldwide.
