My uncle Carl was a pilot for TWA. His plane was struck by lightning.....maybe in the 1950's. There is a family picture of him standing on the ground looking at the hole on the nose and wondering how he got the thing on the ground safely.

He told us that lighting will hit the nose and flash down the isle and out the tail. That is why I always felt they said stay seated and not in the isles.
