DALLAS — Six people are dead following a collision that occurred at a World War II air show in Dallas, authorities said Sunday.
Two vintage aircraft collided in mid-air and crashed during the event Wings Over Dallas on Saturday, organizers said. The event featured flying demonstrations of WWII fighter planes at the Dallas Executive Airport.
Five of the victims were on the B-17, while one victim was on the P-63 when they crashed, National Transportation Safety Board member Michael Graham told reporters during a news conference on Sunday. The air show, timed to coincide with Veterans Day, is organized by the Commemorative Air Force, an education association focused on American military aviation.
The airport said there was an"incident" during the show and that Dallas Fire and Rescue were responding.
