The real life JASDF Komatsu Air Base hosts a search and rescue wing in addition to two fighter wings with F-15J's and T-4's as portrayed in the anime.[2] JDS Haruna (DDH-141), on which Hongou lands on to refuel in Episode 3, is a real ship of the JMSDF.[3]
Uchida Kazuhiro joined the JASDF hoping to fly fighter jets, however midway through the pilot training program he was transferred to the rescue helicopter course and was eventually deployed to the Komatsu Rescue Squad as a SAR helicopter pilot. Initially depressed at his assignment, Uchida's experiences eventually cause him to change his mind.
The Blu-Ray version was released in Japan on November 22, 2018.[4] The release was timed to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the JASDF's Air Rescue Wing.[5] In 2017, scholar Takayoshi Yamamura noted that anime was produced in the collaboration with the JASDF.[6]
