I remember a few guys who had a very low opinion of the MU-2 both from the aviating and maintaining viewpoints. I do remember one landing and taxiing onto our ramp during a dark and stormy night after a lightning strike with the port tip-tank nearly blown off ..very large, ragged hole blown out of the tank. We were suitably impressed. The comments from the crew and paramedics aboard when they exited and saw the damage were priceless. They said the “Bang” was very loud and startling. The patient was unconscious so missed the fun. The fire dept showed up expecting to clean up any spilled fuel…there wasn’t a drop in the remnants of the tank. We completed the patient transfer to the Trauma Centre hospital in the helicopter.
