Utdrag fra VG:
Radarmålinger viser at flyet befant seg mellom 2.194 meter og 2.316 meter over bakken. Kebnekaise er 2.111 meter på det høyeste punktet.

Er militær fly fritatt fra å holde MOCA, som her skulle minst vært 2000 ft over Kebnekaise?

Tragisk, bare undrer meg hvorfor de fløy så lavt!

Sorry just putting it English, from the newspaper VG (Online) they say the Radar shows that the aircraft was at approx. 2194 - 2316 meter altitude, while the mountain Kebnekaise is 2111 m at it's highest point.

I was just wondered if military aircraft do not have to stay at MOCA, which should have been 2000 ft above mountainous areas?
It is tragic, just wondering why they was flying at such a low altitude.

RIP
