Two planes have collided at an air show in Dallas in the United States. Both planes, of old Air Force models, crashed after the collision at Dallas Executive Airport.

It was still late on Saturday, Swedish time, uncertain how many were on board the plane, of the Boeing B-17 Flying fortress and Bell P-63 Kingcobra types.

Among other things, the air show would showcase some of the few remaining planes used in World War II.

Regulatory aviation authorities have launched an investigation into the course of events.

“A terrible tragedy,” writes Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson on Twitter.
