One of the key findings from the NTSB says a group of historic fighter planes was told to fly ahead of a formation of bombers without any prior plan for coordinating altitude. SIx people were killed.
All six were on the B-17 Flying Fortress and Bell P-63 Kingcobra flight crews involved in the collision.An aviation export is pointing to some key findings in the recently released report from the NTSB on the Dallas air show crash.
Six people were killed in this crash. They were pilots and crew members. Now, one expert says a common plan that should’ve been in place to prevent this was absent. "So they did not prepare for the eventuality of having two aircraft at the same altitude at the same airspace," he said. "That’s a problem."
"However, they had an intersecting flight paths, and there was no provision made to say we will not be at the same altitude," Manno said.The Commemorative Air Force says its show was approved by the FAA. "And that understanding would have to be that they had procedures in effect to make sure that no aircraft would come in contact or an intersecting flight path at the same altitude with another aircraft, but that didn’t happen," he said.A full report could take 12-18 months.
