Sad posting. Commemorative Air Force Bell P-63 Kingcobra and B-17 "Texas Raiders" collided at the Wings Over Dallas Airshow today. The P-63 impacted the B-17s fuselage behind its wings, both aircraft broke apart and impacted the ground. Not sure of the number of total people on board, still haven't seen anything about survivors. The videos are difficult to watch.

Thank you for adding some more information. All I had seen up to now was a very tight lipped comment alluding to a terrible tragedy, without any details at all, but it doesn't sound good

One of the videos has sound and you can hear the aircraft hit and break, the B-17 was already burning in-air, then the fireball and explosion on ground impact. About 3 seconds from mid-air to ground impact. Honestly, I'll be surprised (and happy) if there are any survivors.

Youtube and Twitter have quite a few videos if anyone needs to see it.

Both B-17 pilots were recently retired American Airlines Captains. I have flown quite a bit with one of them. Very sad day

Lysander and some messing about with photoshop to give the feel of the operations this aircraft would have undertaken:

Seen this morning at the flea market. I wonder how it made its way to the market?
A bit of sleuthing revealed that it's titled "Spitfire Head-On" painted by Alan Hindle (1923-1996)
