The newspaper report was a R22 but can’t locate the article or follow up.

RIP. Not a good week for helicopters. Three helicopters crashed on the same day in a field in the US whilst preventing crop freeze.
All in the same area of South Florida.
I’m sure the local FAA FSDO and NTSB crews were busy.
RIP to the pilots.
What kind of helicopter were they flying?
