Question Struck By Lightning
PM Tony Blair recently travelled to the USA to meet with President Bush. He arrived at Andrews AFB near Washington, DC, aboard a chartered BA 777. While on approach, one wing of the plane was struck by lightning.

How common are such lightning strikes of commercial aircraft?
