Green is good, yellow is ok, red is not as ok, and magenta isn't good. Pretty simple, eh?Snapped the picture on descent/arrival into Washington Dulles from Detroit. Enroute, we had to hold for about 30 minutes while a thunderstorm rolled over the field. Turns out, a 50 seat United Express ERJ was struck by lightning shortly after takeoff, and returned to the field. Must have been a slow news day, because the story was all over the internet and on TV. I'm willing to bet at least 75% of our fleet has been struck at least once by this point... if not more.
A pretty uneventful arrival for us, with just some patches of moderate turbulence and some moderate precipitation. Rain sure is loud hitting the windscreen at over 250 mph, though!
