Data waveforms of the rate of change of electric flux density obtained during two lightning strikes to an aircraft specially instrumented for lightning electromagnetic measurements are presented. The aircraft was operating in a thunderstorm environment to elicit strikes. The instrumenttion system configuration, flight conditions, and strike scenario showing probable lightning path on the aircraft are described. The waveforms, which were obtained at a 10 nanosecond sample interval, indicate significant excursions of the rate of change of electric flux density occurred over few hundred nanoseconds time interval.
