Anybody out there have interesting stories to tell about being hit by lightning?
A couple of years ago, I was flying a Seneca over Scotland when a large flash and bang occurred. My passengers thought it had hit us but I didn't. Upon landing, an "exit wound" hole the size of a 50 pence piece was found melted through the tailplane trailing edge- no other damage though.
P.S- conditions were build ups of cumulus but certainly nothing I thought too nasty!
