Do aircraft conduct electricity?

By viewing the picture below, the obvious answer is , “duh” 😀

I also have a quasi-video in .gif format, but at 400KB it’s unfortunately too big to post. Regardless, I bet this scared the everliving crap out of the passengers, crew, and observers on the ground.

aircraft have to conduct electricity or upon alnding due to the friction of the air they would build up so much static that the first person off would be the grounding object – enough sed! – 😉 as sed by Wys a few weeks back!!
