I got struck by lighning a few months ago.
Felt like someone had hit us under the nose (under the feet!!) with a large plank of wood!
Made a large bang and the pax saw a flash.
We were very surprised (under statement!!) because the cloud was a very harmless looking Cu- we didn't even have the weather radar on!!
No damage whatsoever noticed by us. Very thorough going over by engineers (apparently our trim systems - particularly ailerons - are susceptible to damage) and no damage spotted by them either. Small exit mark.. about 1/4 inch under nose and no entry mark.
Both ADFs (fine at the time) died about a week later...... hmmmmmmm..... dunno about that!!
The Capt I was flying with has since been struck again..... electric personality!!!
