Interesting... And do you think that's only the 800 and not the rest of the NG's? What about the 700?
Also, look at this Icelandair B757 that got struck by lightning to it's nose last week shortly after take-off from Keflavik going to New York... It returned safely to KEF.
Ouch! No surprise that the Wx Radar is U/S...
