Lightning hitting Kennedy's jet.
Anyone know or see more details about Ted Kennedy's jet being struck by
lightning last Friday, other than what appeared in wire stories. Wonder how the crew could divert to HVN and fly *manually* when they claim that all power was lost. http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas..._by_lightning/

This kind of stuff happens often to the Kennedy's. See below.
Serves him right: all he was saving was a 2-2 1/2 hour drive, but instead, he'd rather burn 100 gallons of jet fuel to save an hour travel time. *******. http://www.berkshireeagle.com/headlines/ci_3824143

If you draw a line from Pittsfield to Hyannis, it's kind of strange they ended up in New Haven, rather than Oxford, Hartford, Bradley, or Groton. I wonder what route they were flying?

Slightly off topic but you'll find this interesting.

The article said all "electrical" power was lost. The flight controls are mechanical, although a landing at a towered field without comm could be interesting. Anyone know or see more details about Ted Kennedy's jet being struck by lightning last Friday Pierre Salinger said it was hit by a missile...

This surprises you that someone would rather fly out to the Vineyard than drive? You are an idiot.
