Ugh, this sucks. I wish OH58D was still around. This crew sounds like they were in and out of the clouds based off weather in the area. There’s not a lot of IFR rated pilots in the civilian world, well, rated and proficient anyways. I would hope this crew was much more capable but most helo pilots don’t go looking for clouds to fly in. Widespread overcast in the area with ceilings as low as 700 ft and as high as a few thousand as a system moved through.

Here’s the air traffic control radio and time points of the comms with the accident aircraft.
