CTC lightning strike.
 

Anyone know any detail about the lightning strike that occured yesterday on one of the CTC Twinstars?
All I know is one got struck yesterday and it blew a hole in the nose and blew one of the wingtips off....

Sounds like a good excuse for a taxiing accident;)

........classic..........:D

All i will say is it will be interesting to find out what these new age materials do we then encounter lightning.

NZ06AR

NDB Alpha.............I got a really good laugh out of that :}

OK, on to more serious stuff! I'm not up to speed on all this new age stuff NZ06AR, but I found this reference a while back............it may be of interest perhaps?
