The pilots of two airplanes that collided during a Dallas air show in November were flying in formations and had been directed to return to the display area just before the fatal accident, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board.
Six flight crew members were killed Nov. 12 when a P-63 Kingcobra collided with a B-17 Flying Fortress at the Commemorative Air Force’s Wings Over Dallas air show.
The report did not list a cause of the mid-air collision. It could take a year or more for a final investigation.
