Aesir
I speak and read both norwegian languishes, that is not the problem.
The way it is written it says it was two pilots.
For a military spokesman it is worded a bit strange: "The persons on board belonged to the personnel doing testing on the helicopter."
" Two experienced pilots was at the controls when it happened."
Military officers always refer to other personnel as soldiers ( Privats) or Officers.
Anyway.
We shall know soon enough .
Lets hope it is not a mechanical problem. We need the new capable Aw101!
