Federal investigators reenacted the midair collision over Utah between a commuter plane and a private aircraft that killed 10 people, but will not release any findings until Tuesday, said Jean Pyatt, chief National Transportation Safety Board investigator. Skywest Flight 1834 was on final approach to Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday when it collided with a four-seat Mooney plane flown by a pilot and a flight instructor. Pyatt said investigators tracked the two planes on FAA radar at Salt Lake City International and at Hill Air Force Base. Wreckage was being reconstructed in a hangar, she said.
