In the days before departing Kjeller for the flight to Værnes and the major military aviation exercise, he expressed deep distrust of his assigned aircraft.

Do you have "famous" relatives in your family tree?
Many people know their siblings, aunts, uncles, and maybe a few cousins. But DNA and genealogy research often reveal connections that go much further — sometimes to people you’ve never met, yet share a slice of history (and DNA!).n my case, one of those connections is Didrik Tønseth — a Norwegian cross-country skier who competed in the Olympics and won the Gold Medal for 4x 10km relay in 2018. Didrik is my 4th cousin on my father’s Norwegian line.
