I want to add my own experience to the lightning strike discussion. A few years ago while I was flying my Europa in the east of France, there were a few thunderstorms in the vicinity, the closest one was at least ten miles away, good visibility and no rain. Suddenly I saw my passenger removing his headset in a hurry and at the same time I felt electrical discharges in my left hand fingers through the foam of the stick. This lasted for a few seconds. My passenger told me he had received discharges on his ears through the headset. There were no visible lightning bolt nor audible thunder. Everything on the aircraft continued to work properly and the rest of the flight was uneventful. No damage was found on the aircraft after landing.
Since that day I try to fly far away from thunderstorms.
