AU.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey tilt-rotor has gone missing in northern Norway today, leaving four crew members unaccounted for. The aircraft was in Norway for the large-scale Cold Response exercise, during which NATO forces practice their combat skills in demanding cold Norwegian weather conditions.
Hovedredningssentralen (HRS) Northern Norway, the local branch of the main Norwegian rescue agency, confirmed in a statement that the Osprey had failed to land at Bodø Air Base in the Nordland region as it had been scheduled to do around 6:00 PM local time, after a training mission. The MV-22 was reported missing at 6:26 PM. Its last known position was on Saltfjellet, one of the largest mountain ranges in Norway, located south of Bodø and through which the Arctic Circle passes.
