Crews examine and remove the wreckage of a double plane crash at the McCall Airport.

BOISE - The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary accident report into the deadly mid-air collision at the McCall Airport last Friday.

The simple one-page report spells out the very basics of this collision, without pointing blame.

For the family who lost two young boys and their grandfather -- finding fault is irrelevant.

Pilot Justin Mooney's first-hand account of the moments leading up to a deadly collision are repeated in the initial accident report just released by the National Transportation Safety Board.

"I entered at a 45-degree to my downwind for runway 34,” Mooney said. “It was 60 knots about 30 feet off the ground and all of a sudden there was just this huge noise."

The report says two Cessnas collided about 30 feet off the ground as both pilots attempted to land at the McCall airport.

While Mooney and his passenger escaped unharmed, those in the other plane did not.

Pilot Bill Keating, 52, and his grandsons -- 6-year-old William and 1-year-old Dillon -- all died.

The middle child - 3-year-old Tyler - survived, rescued from the burning wreckage by Mooney.  But he is badly burned and now being treated at a Salt Lake City hospital.

The preliminary report by the NTSB does not point blame, nor do those most impacted by this tragic accident.

"I feel terrible for the other family," Mooney said.

"I think about him every day, I honestly do and I don't think bad things about him.  I hope he's OK. I wonder if he's going through what I'm going through,” Chris Pickering said.

Chris and Jennifer Pickering are by their son's side as he undergoes treatment for his 3rd degree burns. 

But their thoughts are also with the pilot of that other plane. 

"There's too many questions and not enough answers and I don't think we'll ever have all the answers," Jennifer Pickering said.

"I don't know if I want all the answers," Chris Pickering said. "Finding out what happened isn't going to make any difference.  What happened, happened. It's a huge loss and there isn't anything anybody can do."

The final report on the investigation could take several months.
