Indeed cool stuff but I just find the timing quoted incredible. If true the most notable part of the story is the extraordinary conjunction of the call for help being placed at the exact good moment

“Defence [the military] often helps in many situations when civil society needs it,

Isn't that their primary job??? Finally the tax payer gets some help from the 'big boys toys brigade'. Are they not in the role of 'saving lives?'

Well,
Within 40 minutes of the call being received, the medical equipment had been delivered to the hospital in Bodø.
is not what the swedish article I read previously said. That one said that the plane lifted off 40 minutes after the call, having been already standing on the runway. Much more likely.
