Any native Norwegian speaker care to comment?
Native Norgie living in Canada...
Flyger is the term for Pilot, can also be Flyver. The paragraph states "Two experienced Pilots"
There also were 4 people outside the aircraft at the time of the accident.
The military would not let an Engineer (flight mechanic) do the runs. Minimum 1 winged pilot in the captain's seat.
