Guess what this would look like if it were a new "plastic" airliner. This one can be fixed.
Somewhere i read that the average airliner is struck by lightning every 10,000 hours. Slightly over one year - if it's flying hours that's once every two to three years.>
This Would Get Your Attention...
OK. So. You're the pilot of a plane.
It's on auto-pilot and you're catching up on People magazine and having a cup of coffee..
Suddenly the loudest sound you will ever hear goes off just behind your left ear.
You're blinded by the flash and can't hear.
All you can feel is something warm running down your leg.
You immediately consider retirement.
This is an Atlantic Southeast Airlines/Delta Connection aircraft after it suffered a lightning strike.

So, what's the point? Or, rather, what's the message for Pulsar pilots? Surely even the most aggresive of us has better sense than to go fly in areas of TCU? The pix are impressive and make the point that metal has a better chance in those environs than "plastic". So? Get real - smart pilots respect what needs to be respected. Did I miss something here?
