How Safe Are You from Lightning on a Plane?

How safe are you from lightning storms when inside an airplane? Generally, in the present commercial airplanes are very safe during electrical storms. Commercial planes are struck twice per year on average, yet they are still safe. Still, isn't it easier to believe once you've seen it yourself? Many people are afraid to fly during thunderstorms and with good reason. However, this video should put your fears to rest. NASA deliberately sent a F-10 Delta Dart for the sole purpose of getting hit by lightning and record results. And the results are good. If a small fighter plane can withstand this much beating from the weather then you can bet commercial planes are much safer. The worst than can happen is your plane gets shaken up and your food might spill on your lap.
