Back in 1985 while working for Florida Express in FLL we had a BAC-1-11 arrive on our gate with a big chunck of the nose cone missing due to a lightning strike on the flight down from MCO. Not surprisingly the front end crew needed a new pair of underware and the outbound flight back to MCO cancelled.
