*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week,
AVweb asked if your aircraft had ever been on the receiving end of a
lightning strike.
Most of you (65% of respondents) said no, you'd never been the
victim of a lightning strike — and you fly a metal airplane.
Another 4% of you (who fly composite aircraft) said you hadn't been
stricken either. Counting the 8% of you who chose our somewhat
cheeky answer (Does St. Elmo's Fire count?), that's 77% of
AVweb respondent who have not been stricken by lightning.
One the other hand, 15% of you (flying mostly metal aircraft)
have been stricken by lighting — and another 9% were stricken
while flying an airliner.
One single reader told us he (or she) had been hit while flying a
mostly composite aircraft.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
Mid-airs — they've multiplied over the past few days. How
concerned are you that you'll be struck from the sky by another
aircraft?
