I was hit by lightning coming out of Chicago not to long ago. I didn't crap my pants either but I was poop-in out a bunch of sheep fur later on.

That is a really neat picture.

Got struck by lightning in the 727 once, we took a direct hit to the radome during climbout. It didn't do any damage but it scared the bajeezus out of me.
 
Took a hit in a T-38 once. Some portion of the charge traveled through the ejection seat, through the lap belt, into the harness buckle, and thence via my privates to some unknown destination. It hurt less than it sounds, but it got my attention.

Later, I was thankful that the bolt didn't activate the ejection sequence, firing the seat motor, or worse do it all out of sequence, like seat kicker first, followed by the rocket motor, with no canopy jettison. THAT would be grisly.
 
I've been struck n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-nine-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-te-e-e-e-e-e-e-n-n-n-n, nineteen times and wasn't affected at all!!!!!!!
