It's a case of where the Northland Rescue Helicopter has not been this summer with a bumper number of calls for help.
A flight tracker would show a criss-cross of lines across a map with touch downs in most rural areas in the region.
Since the beginning of December up until Wednesday this week the crews had flown 117 missions.
These ranged from near drownings, serious vehicle accidents, heart attacks, pre-term baby delivery and search and rescue to burns and various medical conditions.
For experienced pilot Dean Voelkerling, with 13 years in the air above Northland, it was business as usual but he noted most of the incidents they were called to this summer seemed to be genuine accidents.
