Things must be going pear shaped in the Far North fire near Cape Reinga. You wouldn't know that via the MSM, a cursory report yesterday.
This morning 3x choppers are headed from Jafaland, one went overhead a few minutes ago directly northward at low altitude. The other two are still mid-Northland. Also the FENZ brass must be out for an early morning jolly to the Far North - a plane is landing as we speak at Kaitaia airport as I write.
And as is usual for Flightradar, once north of the Mangamukas, low altitude planes in the area cannot been seen due to radar blind spots from Auckland Airport.
Update: Plane has landed, more choppers now northward.
Update 2: Airspace in upper Northland is busy - another 2x are airborne northward from the cultural backwater just off SH1 with crime-ridden deserted streets that is Whangarei. Normally there would be about half a dozen planes all day in these parts transiting through the area so any increased air traffic is noticeable.
