A second pilot has died following a fatal midair helicopter collision in New Jersey.
The two pilots — named as longtime friends Kenneth Kirsch, 65, and Michael Greenberg, 71 — died when their helicopters collided around 11:25 a.m. Sunday in Hammonton, NJ, around 35 miles southeast of Philadelphia.
Kirsch, of Carney’s Point, died Monday after being flown to a nearby hospital.
Greenberg, of Sewell, died at the crash scene Sunday, Hammonton Police Chief Kevin Friel said.
“Statements from witnesses had the two helicopters flying close together just before the crash. The crash site was approximately a mile and a half from the airport in a farm field,” Friel said.
The two pilots often had breakfast together at a cafe close to the crash site.
