I seem to remember reading on here, about helicopters being partially responsible for generating strikes in certain atmospheric conditions. Am writing an essay about this and would appreciate any references guys:8
From here: http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/19023-lightning-strikes.html
And from Knut Lande: Lightning Strikes on Helicopters - Effects, Detection and Avoidance (http://papers.sae.org/1999-01-2398)
