The Greenlea Rescue Helicopter was kept busy at the weekend being dispatched to several jobs.
A woman with a medical condition was flown to Waikato Hospital on Friday evening.
Deteriorating weather conditions meant a return night flight was not desirable, so the helicopter returned to Taupo on Saturday morning.
Later that day a man was transported to Rotorua Hospital with a serious concussion and possible spinal injuries after a fall from a motorbike on a trail ride.
On Sunday the helicopter was again called out, this time to the Central Plateau to assist another patient with a serious medical complaint.
