Two historic military planes collided and crashed to the ground Saturday during an air show in Dallas, exploding into a ball of flames and sending plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. It was unclear how many people were on board the aircraft or if anyone on the ground was hurt, the AP reports. Leah Block, a spokesperson for Commemorative Air Force, which produced the Veterans Day weekend show and owned the aircraft, she believed there were five crew members on the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber and one aboard the P-63 Kingcobra fighter plane. The Houston-based aircraft were not giving rides to paying customers at the time, she said. Emergency crews raced to the crash site at the Dallas Executive Airport, about 10 miles from the city’s downtown.
