> A witness, Lynn Stewart, said the helicopter touched down, then

> Stewart said.
> The pilot, 43-year-old Phil Herring, died after the LifeNet of the
> Heartland helicopter crashed. The two passengers died later at an
> Omaha hospital, said Russ Spray, chairman of Rocky Mountain Holding
> Corp., LifeNet's parent company.
