Unfortunately this is far from rare. Myself, numerous colleagues,and the engineers who attend to the subsequent scrapes and holes, feel that the 800 seems to be particularly subsceptible to Lightning strikes ( and I mean the 800 not just RYR 800's, I have flown them elsewhere). Seems to me Boeing were a bit stingy when it came to fitting discharge strips ,or some other tech reason beyond my level of comprehension,but this Baby seems to be dissproportionately attractive to Lightning encounters.As far as I know Boeing are aware of the prob, don't know if they are trying to find a fix, or whether we are going to have to put up with it ?¿ Yikes.
