Lufthansa lightning strike picture


This is a nice picture of lightning strike damage to a Lufthansa 737 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The aircraft had just taken off from Sofia to Frankfurt on Saturday April 5th when lightning struck the horizontal stabilizer. The flight crew elected to RTB and rightly so. That's a nice little chunk missing there. Engineers are working on getting the 21-year old aircraft airworthy again. Nothing a little 100 mph tape could fix, right?
