Navy pilot’s fighter jet struck by lightning

Cliff Lemoine, a native of Eunice, received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for assisting a fellow pilot after an in-flight lightning strike last summer. Lemoine is a 2001 graduate of St. Edmund, and he is the son of the late Clifton Lemoine and late Linda Lemoine. (Submitted Photo)

Getting struck by lightning is never good, but it’s even scarier 23,000 feet in the air.
