Tragedy struck yesterday, as two historic aircraft collided during a performance in the Wings Over Dallas 2022 Airshow. The aircraft involved in the collision both performed at the Wings Over Houston 2022 Airshow, just two weeks prior to this unfortunate event. Here's my footage of both aircraft performing during the show. My condolences go out to the families of the crews and those involved on both aircraft.
Here's the official statement from the Commemorative Air Force (CAF):
On Saturday, November 12, 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 is working with local authorities, the FAA, and the NTSB will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with those involved in the accident and their families.
