F16 used to airlift hospital equipment???

Norwegian fighter jet helps save dying patient | World news | The Guardian

Strange article. It's more than half hour's drive from the hospital to Trondheim airport, which is shared with the airforce, assuming this is where the F16 took off. One would assume that just stuffing the equipment into an air ambulance helicopter, or just any helicopter, would have been faster, even if one accounts for the heli's slower travel speed.

Also, they made no mention of whether they stuffed the doc to operate the equipment into the same external cargo pod, the F16 being single crew.
