Who was Terry Barker? Retired American Airlines pilot, 67, among victims of Wings Over Dallas air show crash
DALLAS, TEXAS: The mid-air collision between two historic World War II-era planes, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra, at a Dallas air show on Saturday, November 12, killed six people. County Judge Clay Jenkins confirmed the death toll from the crash in a tweet on early Sunday, November 13, that read, “According to our Dallas County Medical Examiner, there are a total of 6 fatalities from yesterday's Wings over Dallas air show incident. Authorities will continue working today on the investigation & identification of the deceased.”
Horrifying visuals captured by people attending the Wings Over Dallas Airshow at Dallas Executive Airport at around 1.20 pm on November 12 showed the two planes crashing and then breaking apart into pieces. And within a couple of seconds, being covered in a ball of fire. Aubrey Anne Young, 37, who was one of the spectators, told, as quoted by The Guardian, “It was really horrific to see. I’m still trying to make sense of it.” Nobody on the ground was injured or killed, said the authorities.
