I haven't heard of an accident where a a/c was brought down by lightning alone (stand to be corrected)...but you never know.

Can't believe such old aircraft are in service. I know if an a/c is maintained well it can last for years (WW2 a/c etc) but I think 32 years for a commercial a/c is pushing it
Iran Air (sister ship of TWA800).

Obviously extremely rare and even more so today

It aint the years of service, its the flight cycles and the repair cycles.
