Two aircraft crashed on Saturday during a World War II
airshow at the Dallas executive airport in the United States.
According to videos of the incident posted on social media
platforms, a plane crashed into another mid-air, after which both planes fell
to the ground and went up in flames seconds later.
In a statement on Saturday by the Commemorative Air Force
(CAF), a non-profit organisation focused on the preservation of aircraft used
for combat during World War II, the status of those on board has not yet been
determined.
“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 Houston,” the statement reads.
“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.”
The WWII airshow, organised by the CAF, is expected to end
on November 13.
