Ever been in an airplane hit by lightning?

Grounding explained here.
Plane lightning here, and here. Essentially, the bolt travels over the plane and discharges on the other end.
People inside may or may not hear noises, see flashes, or experience flickering lights.

The lightning itself is pretty uneventful just a flicker in the cabins circuitry (tv screens etc) and a possible split second of silence. Its the turbulence thats the scary part.

We were flying over Germany when the pilot or co- pilot announced we’d been hit by lightning
“a minute ago”. I must have blinked cos I missed it! No big deal….

What @Nullo said…. ;-)

It is called “static discharge” not lightning strike.——- LOL
Yes, I have. One plane was taken out of service. Some of the electronics did not work correctly after we landed and before we took off again, the pre-flight check found the problem.

Yes! In a four-seater over Dallas! That was decades ago and I’m still shaking.

Guess I survived, though

Unfortunately not yet! Would be exciting perhaps.

Yes. Over SJ California, probably 10 years ago while coming in to land. I thought I was a goner, but it turned out to be no big deal. We landed, and I’m typing this now.
