Bingo.
If the plane were on the ground at the time, it'd probably be a whole different story. Negative ions (lightning) meeting positive ions (the earth), right? Seems like the circuit wouldn't be complete unless the plane was on the ground. In which case, that's one plane I really would not want to be on.
