I have heard of just one incident where a lightning got an Allouette III of REGA. It hit on the rotor head and went out on the tail rotor gear box (or the other way round). It welded the gears together for a short time but they brocke free again. They landed without any problem but during the following inspection, they found the damage. Very expensive.
