At last....the correct determination was made and it must be accepted. Now its time to let these men rest in peace and for all of us here in the Valley to move on. Regarding the post from bytetheapple you probably live to make others as miserable as you are. Thats OK. I just ignore comments like yours. As for the Krolak boys, I hope they will drop those lawsuits and get on with their lives. They will always have their dad in their hearts.

Very sad event but also preventable. One pilot in each aircraft should have been assigned strictly to flying and keeping proximity of other aircraft in train. And when so many aircraft are flying over just one event, a Controller needs to be in charge of airspace. That way if things get too tight, one or more aircraft can be waived off out of the immediate zone. Perhaps this can be agreed to by everyone involved after this accident.

RIP gentleman

hey-bytetheapple- why be such a jerk? The NTSB has crashes nationwide to investigate, not just ours. It takes that long for any crash's official report to be made public. My mother and I both have ties to Channel 15. She's been there 20 years. My prayers our still with both Channels' families. Hopefully a co-pilot procedure has/will be implemented.

accidents do happen....may this be closure for the families and loved ones of the departed, and may these four souls finally rest in peace

about time. . . now move on

A year and a half? And they need to have an "official" meeting live? Is this the special secret unveiling of the Oscars or Miss America pageant? Perhaps they'll turn it into an award banquet and give each other awards for Best Costume in a Helicopter Crash Investigation. How about they publish the report and go back to work figuring out the other pending crash investigations? Hope they provided donuts and coffee!
