As far as ENG aircraft go in the DFW area,

FOX 4 had a 206B3
CBS 11 has a 407
NBC 5 has a 206L
ABC 8 has an AS350

There are also several traffic aircraft scooting around ... 206Bs in zebra stripes and one wayward R44. I think the Robbie is attached to one of the local Spanish language channels.

As far as the condition of the pax and crew, the news reporter in the back was reported to still be in the hospital last night (minor injuries, I've heard ... a cut or two and some bruising). The reporter in the front seat as well as the pilot were a little shaken, but doing fine. FOX 4 was interviewing Chip Waggoner only minutes afterwards via phone.

Here's a map of the area near where they landed ... http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=pf6t5g6xgyhc&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=4198912&encType=1
