No paying customers were on the aircraft, said Coates, of Commemorative Air Force, which also owned the planes.
Emergency crews raced to the crash scene at the Dallas Executive Airport, about 10 miles from the city's downtown. News footage from the scene showed crumpled wreckage of the planes in a grassy area, apparently inside the airport perimeter. Dallas Fire-Rescue told The Dallas Morning News that there were no reported injuries among people on the ground."I just stood there. I was in complete shock and disbelief," said Montoya, 27, who attended the air show with a friend.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said the National Transportation Safety Board had taken control of the crash scene with local police and fire providing support.The planes collided and crashed around 1:20 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The collision occurred during the Commemorative Air Force Wings Over Dallas show.
Several videos posted on social media showed the fighter plane appearing to fly into the bomber, causing them to quickly crash to the ground and setting off a large ball of fire and smoke.
