Crazy experience. We sent a message and mx met us at the gate around midnight. When I got down there for the post flight, they had already found about 7 entrance burn marks on the nose/belly of the plane.

Louder & brighter than I expected. A little shaken, but non eventful after the fact.
Sounds like a fun time.... get use to it 1st time wont be the last...
