scroggins I've been paxing for 44 years. The very worst turbulence was in 1971 because a Viscount (old quad turboprop) could not get above a tropical storm in Southern Africa. That was it. Some bumping around but nothing traumatic and never a lightning strike, despite too many flights the length of Africa - where there are big clouds all year round in the tropics.
