sweet pic...how bad was the A/C damaged?

Nice pic. Our self-serve was 'taken out' twice by lightning in JUN. Did it fry the plane?

From my experience with lightning strikes I would doubt it. It probably just damaged the Nav, Strobes, a static wic or two and probably something on the nose wheel (notice the lightning exiting).


I too would be interested in knowing what the actually damages were.

This was all I could find. I ran across the picture on a local news website:

Lightning Rod

This airplane was sitting on a Tarmack in Alabama at a flight training facility that my friend works at. The security cameras caught this lightning strike during a storm. Awesome display of nature!

Just spent two days there, and those C-12's were tearing up the pattern all day! Also there was a C-5 there today...pretty cool.
