When I was in the service I had heard of this happening but never saw it. Strange.

I don't know that much about planes but that would have had some pucker factor for me.

RE:Interesting Air Refueling Video
I parked a B52 one time that had a 6" hole in the front of the fuselage. When the pilot climbed down out of the bomber I asked him if he hit a bird. He told me no, lightning. The tower had told him on the radio he had some structural damage on the tail fin and we went back and checked it out. Sure enough, one of the 3'x3' panels on the tail was blown off. No one was hurt, but it knocked out some of the navigation and radio equipment. He laughed and said that it sure got bright out all of a sudden. ![[cool]](./images/smilies/msp_cool.gif "Cool")
