A Swedish rescue helicopter had been dispatched. The Bell 204 and it's crew had been put inside a Russian Antinov heavy lifter airplane and flown directly to Japan to help in the relief efforts. Naturally, they were able to carry much more stuff than our small R44 choppers... Here, the 204 was loaded with cans of tuna and sweetcorn, bottled water, a few push bikes, medical supplies and more.
With Swedish pilot Carl Hakensson... Carl told me that his Bell 206 was built in Nov. 1966, and was originally flown by American troops in the Vietnam War before being sold in the late 70's to various companies.
In the chopper I flew were some of the radios collected at the various events held around Nagoya including a number of radio DJ friends....
On the wall of the HCJ Helicopter crews' base in Sugo was this poster drawn by 7 year old Ryugen Kun, the writing says, "Good luck HCJ, Good luck Northeast Japan"
