Bush Pilot regular contributor Matthew Keller's brother Zach has been flying relief missions in Haiti. Below is a message from him.

I am home at last and it feels good to be back in America. We safely flew more than 70 hours in three weeks.

By God's grace I was healthy the whole time, and the helicopter worked flawlessly. We flew 18 people to the hospital for medical emergencies. We also flew medical supplies, food, and medical teams. We did several survey flights to assess the need for medical attention and water in remote villages, and just a couple of beach landings to take a quick swim. It was an amazing experience that I feel privileged to have been a part of.

It was hard to see so much pain and suffering day after day. The devastation in Port-a-Prince is overwhelming. We would usually take off from the airport and head south west over the worst of it.

I couldn't help but think, as we flew over miles of densely packed and destroyed houses, how many sons, daughters, mothers and fathers lay buried beneath all the rubble.
