The flying public would be surprised to know how often airplanes get hit by lightening. I’ve been on two such flights. I suspect on the second one, most folks didn’t even realize we’d been struck (first flight they announced it). When I worked in Flight Control, it wasn’t unusual to have a few strikes a week during thunderstorm seasons (of which February traditionally isn’t...). However, I don’t ever recall having a diversion for a strike, perhaps it did additional damage...would be interested to know. Usually striies happen on arrival. Then the airplane goes MX, until they run thru a checklist and then find where the strike went in, and where it went out and make sure there’s no damage to the skin. Usually takes a few hours.
