## Discrepancy

THE CREW REPORTED TAKING A LIGHTNING STRIKE IN FLIGHT.  THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED EN ROUTE AND DETAILED LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTIONS.  MINOR DAMAGE WAS FOUND ON THE TOP VHF ANTENNA, LOWER TAIL STATIC DISCHARGER, AND THE TAIL CONE.  THE ANTENNA AND STATIC DISCHARGER WERE REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE UNITS.  THE TAIL CONE DAMAGE WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND WITHIN ALLOWABLE LIMITS AT THIS TIME.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
