Aerolinas Argentinas Flt.#224

Our seats were next to the galley on AerolinasArgentinas Flt. #224. We were at 32,000 feet just before 9:00 p.m. when our plane ran into an electrical storm. At the appointed hour, a bolt of lightening struck the right wing and sent the galley trays spewing over my left arm. Talk about visusal effects. "Alright already, John", I thought. "That was pretty impressive, but a little overplayed, no?"

That act was hard to follow and the rest of the flight proved uneventful in comparison. Although the fit, black, bald passenger who did his calisthenics at 6:00 a.m. in the aisle outside the toilet was pretty eyecatching! And contagious too. I must admit he had me joining in to overcome the stiffness that fourteen hours of flight will give you.
