Remembering Jason and Chip

A visitation and funeral for WBTV meteorologist Jason Myers will take place this weekend, the family has announced.

While Chip is gone, the way he did things in the sky won’t be forgotten.

Proceeds will benefit the family of Jason Myers and Chip Tayag

The families of the two men killed in the Sky3 helicopter crash shared statements Wednesday reflecting on their loved ones’ lives.

An NTSB spokesperson said Wednesday that while the initial report will take about three weeks, there is a lot that goes into it.

The crash happened in the area of I-77 near the Nations Ford Road exit.

“It seems the pilot that was operating the aircraft made some diversionary moves to avoid hitting traffic,” CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said.

The outpouring of support from the community continues as Charlotte FC and the Carolina Panthers took time to remember Chip Tayag and Jason Myers on Tuesday night at their annual tree lighting at Bank of America Stadium.

“I know Chip and Jason were valued team members and we mourn with you during this tragedy,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said in a tweet.

The two were killed in a helicopter crash Tuesday afternoon.
