SWA2197 Lightning Strike
« on: June 04, 2009, 05:48:34 PM »
A Southwest Airlines 737-700 was struck by lightning shortly after 06:30am, after departing Oakland for Burbank. The flight returned safely into Oakland. I couldn't find the initial call after they were struck and I didn't have time to finish the edit of the file. Sounds like they landed ok without any real incident.
