What say ye?

Not much you can do about it other than try to stay at the lowest

I have an aluminum cuddy. Better than a glass bow rider, at least.

Bull****. Apparently, you have never seen (or had to repair) an
aluminum aircraft hit by lightning....

I was in one that got hit by lightning - a stretched DC-8.

The static discharge sticks on the wings were glowing with green
plasma for about two minutes after the strike. :)
