HELICOPTER QUAKE RELIEF 2

Tues. March 22, 11 days after the mega-quake, up at the crack of dawn and out to the Minikamo Heliport to load the helicopters with medicines and emergency supplies for direct aid flights.
Above, Friendship Flight 2005 partner Nishimori San and one of his staff, with the other 2 choppers behind. A 4th chopper joined them mid flight from Gunma.
The choppers were packed full of supplies I collected over the weekend at TV Tower and Hope International collected at the Hilton...
The Robinson R44 choppers are small, but it's surprising how much you can fit in one if you try!
A Nagoya TV crew was on hand to film us loading the helicopters and interview us too.
