Here's a live clip of a airplane getting hit by lightning. Like any live filming , it's not super exciting, but you can see the sparks come off the plane, and hear the thunderclap about 5 seconds later..
The surprising part is that this happens alot. According to FAA data, the average plane is hit by lightning twice a year, with no problems. Moye, you fly a lot - ever been hit? I know I was once, and it was no picnic.....

I have been on several big jets that got hit and considered it a beautiful experience. I was also in an emergency landing in Maine on the way to Ottawa several years ago because of icing that was not a beautiful experience. In the Air Force we lost an engine over the Atlantic that was also not a beautiful experience but once I seen the coast line of our eastern seaboard it was beautiful. So was looking back at the C-141 Starlifter.

Nothing really happened when my plane got zapped, but the turbulence was horrendous. We never got to take our seat belts off the whole flight.
just glad there wasn't some other reason you were shaking in your seat. we've heard a few things about you.
