Reports on the final destination have been a little confusing. The original reports were for the Van Nuys airport, but that is still 25 miles from the sports facility. Later reports mentioned there was a helo pad about 6 miles away from the facility. The helo definitely got held up for IFR traffic at Van Nuys. My guess is they were going to the helo pad. The flight path seems to indicate they were following the 101 to get to Thousands Oaks and hit intense fog at the crash location

That’s what seems to have happened. Here’s one guy who actually videotaped the chopper because it was flying so low......
