Just wondering if this is the same experience anyone else that has been through a plane lightning strike has experienced.
My MD-90 flight ATL-CLT in December was struck by lightning. I didn't know a thing until they made a gate announcement in CLT that the aircraft had been damaged by lightning and was out of service. (I was returning to CLT on the same aircraft as part of a MR.)
