A 78-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy were both flown to hospital by the BayTrust Rescue Helicopter yesterday.
In the morning the helicopter and its crew went to Te Puia Springs to transfer a 78-year-old woman to Gisborne Hospital for urgent assessment.
Late in the afternoon the helicopter was tasked again, this time to fly to Oropi Rd near Tauranga, where a 14-year-old boy had come off his mountain bike.
He was treated by St John paramedics and flown to Tauranga Hospital for further assessment, pilot Hendry de Waal said.
