In a tweet, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said that there were still details that remained “unknown or unconfirmed”.

The two vintage aircraft are a  B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, and the other plane was a P-63 Kingcobra fighter plane. The planes collided and crashed around 1:20 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

As seen in the videos the smaller plane is seen diving down and hitting the bigger aircraft, which crashes down on the air field and exploding while the smaller plane dives down.
