I had a strike in the air over Dublin heading for Shannon several years back.
I was looking for a way through some pretty hefty storms.
A flash which was blinding hit the wing on the Seneca Five feet from where I was sitting just to the left of the Captains seat between the fuselage and left engine.
I was airways at FL100
The radios went into a mass of crackle which settled back after a few minutes, everyones hair stood on end (not fear)
Aircraft dropped 1000 feet in severe downdraughts.
Got vectored onto the ILS at Dublin and was literally chased by lightning bolts all the way down approach (not Kidding as I reckoned the aircraft was setting them off)
Landed with a closed Dublin! 14 aircraft holding for departure! Fuelling stopped.
Lots of fun but no damage signs.
Dont know what would happen with tyres in contact with the ground but should be ok.
Some people say you will find a tiny pin prick black mark where the bolt hits but never found one
