SAN ANTONIO -- Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety released the names of two men killed in a helicopter crash Saturday in La Salle County.
The body of Dale Jones, a hunter from the Houston area and the body of Brian Faglie, a pilot from Uvalde, were found near the chopper that crashed around 11:30 a.m. Saturday in a field at a private hunting ranch near the small town of Dilley.
Tim LeBaron, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed Sunday that Faglie was piloting an air hog hunting excursion.
LeBaron said the weather, which was clear at the time of the crash has been ruled out as one of the possible causes.
"In talking with some of the people who were out here when it happened, the rain was calm and the weather wasn't bad at the time," said LeBaron.
LeBaron said they'll figure out what caused the crash through the process of elimination.
