A USAF C130B carrying troops from Evreux to Bardufoss for the NATO exercise Winter Express crashed into Svanfjellet on Senja while approaching Bardufoss at night in snow and poor visibility. All seven people on board were killed. The investigation found that the crew read back an incorrect altitude after being cleared to descend to 6,000 feet, and the radar controller did not catch the error.
