Two World War II-era airplanes collided and crashed while performing a flyover at a commemorative event in Texas on Saturday.
“This afternoon, two aircraft were involved in a mid-air collision at Dallas Executive Airport. The aircraft were a B-17 Flying Fortress and P-63 Kingcobra, both out of the Houston area. Currently, we do not have information on the status of the flight crews as emergency responders are working the accident,” the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) said in a statement.
“The Commemorative Air Force is working with local authorities, the FAA, and the NTSB will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident,” the CAF added.
“Number of casualties are not yet confirmed, but no spectators or others on the ground were reported injured,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said on Twitter. (ILKHA)
