My flight a few weeks ago was struck by lightning as we were descending to land at SFO. Does anyone know how frequently this happens or if it is dangerous to the aircraft? Just curious, thanks.</font>
Lighting at SFO? Really?
j/k.. I grew up in Marin county and miss lightning from my really early days in NYC. We get a little down here in SD though.
I thought planes were forbidden to land during lightning storms? Maybe it's taking off... I was in PHX flyin to SFO and planes that were supposed to make the run couldn't leave cities like STL and MCI due to lightning storms.
