This is pretty old stuff though!
I think the event took place sometime in September/October.

By any means necessary.

Reason
The incident with the Hercules has not been made public before as it has been classified by the Swedish Airforce. Thé plane had been conducting para drop exercices, and this was the "bye-bye chaps" greeting from the pilot.... not a very good idea though... 3-5 metres a g....
