<<The aircraft itself could have caused the lightning strike, not merely
been a victim of it.

If so, what effect might a coating of paint greatly enriched with metal
(i.e., metallic paint) have on in-flight capacitance building and an
aircraft's attraction/avoidance of lightening?

And what effect would an extra-densely metallic paint have on communication
and navigation equipment?
