SDF helicopter with 'snowshoes' flies to Mt. Ontake

OTAKI, Japan - A Self-Defense Forces helicopter, wearing "snowshoes" for stable landing, flies over Otaki Village, Nagano Prefecture, heading to Mt. Ontake (C back) in central Japan on Oct. 7, 2014. Mud-like volcanic ash piled up around the summit made the search operations for missing climbers difficult.
