Air NZ have advised that the 747 aircraft was not hit and the lightning bolt was way beyond the aircraft which was stationary at the terminal. The photo makes it look as if it was hit. The aircraft departed on scheduled time despite the violent storm.
Thanks, I really couldn't tell from the photo. If it were a still photo, it remains a good catch though.
Wherever it hit, I bet a few rampies in the area checked their shorts for an unscheduled arrival.
Yep...First ya say it. Then ya do it!
Usually it hits pointy parts, but it can also strike a flat surface.
If it had hit the plane, then there would have been a concurrent (SP) strike through the grounding cable at the nose of the Aircraft.
