Got the above pictures from a USAF Auxiliary friend via e-mail this morning. He described it best:
Have you seen this yet? That is the biggest lightning caused hole in an aircraft that I have ever seen. The pilot must have gotten religion immediately after he wet his pants. I'll bet his ears rang for quite a while afterwards. 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!
..I'm thinking hash marks and a new set of boxers, I am.
