Posted: 31 May 2010 at 16:11

Norrbotten Wing (F 21) Today, Monday, 31 May 2010, at 14:55 sank a JAS 39 Gripen aircraft.

Accident occurred during a test run on one engine for the aircraft parking position. The aircraft was in motion and went over bansytemet where it struck around and landed upside down.

What caused the accident can be the Armed Forces not currently answer. It may be that future investigation will tell.

The person on the air is alive and were transported with minor injuries to hospital Sunderby. The person feels well and the case itself has been able to contact the next of kin.

- We are delighted that our mechanic fared comparatively well. This could have ended really bad, "said the head of security at the Frederick Holmbom Monday's press conference.

Accident occurred shortly before 15 pm on Monday. The origin was a routine check of a JAS39D, a two-seat fighter. Three engineering test engines ran on a stand. A technician was on board the plane.

F21-line at Monday's press conference could not explain how the plane was in motion. Suddenly the aircraft rolled out on the runway, used by both civilian and military aircraft.
Thank goodness it was not a civilian aircraft off course or on their way in to land at the time of the accident. The pilot solve Jas-plane rolled across the entire runway before it struck around the side of the runway.
The accident injured one person. The injured flight engineer was taken to hospital Sunderby. Injuries classified as mild. F21's management would not say whether this is a man or a woman harmed, but said that person feel under the circumstances and myself have contacted their relatives.
