https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Dallas_airshow_mid-air_collision
On November 12, 2022, two World War II-era aircraft, a B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra, collided mid-air and crashed during the Wings Over Dallas airshow at Dallas Executive Airport in Dallas, Texas, United States.[1] The collision occurred at 1:22 p.m. local time (CST, UTC−6). The airshow, which coincided with Veterans Day commemorations, was organized by the Commemorative Air Force.
Officials reported that the B-17 had a crew of five while the P-63 had a single occupant; all six were confirmed by the Dallas County Medical Examiner to have died. Both aircraft were destroyed on impact.
All six crew members on board both aircraft were killed. No injuries or fatalities were reported on the ground.[12] It was the Commemorative Air Force's first fatal accident in 17 years.[13][14]
The five fatalities aboard the B-17 were Terry Barker, Kevin "K5" Michels, Dan Ragan, Leonard "Len" Root, and Curtis J. Rowe. Craig Hutain was identified as the sole pilot of the Bell P-63.[15][16][17][18]
Terry Barker was a former American Airlines pilot from 1984 to 2020, a former Army helicopter pilot (1975-1978), and former city council member in Keller, Texas.[19][20][18] Craig Hutain, the sole pilot and fatality aboard the Bell P-63, had started flying solo at the age of 17 and was a former commercial pilot for Rocky Mountain Airways (1982-1985) and United Airlines (1985-2022). Hutain started flying as a child with his father, a World War II veteran, and had been a pilot for the Tora! Tora! Tora! airshow, a reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, at the time of his death.[18] Kevin "K5" Michels, the youngest of the deceased, was an active member of the Commemorative Air Force acting as historian, media representative, and tour supervisor for the organization.[18] Len Root was a retired commercial pilot who had flown for American Airlines from 1986 to 2021.[18][20] U.S. Navy Col. Dan Ragan was a Korean War veteran who served as a radio operator in the 1950s on the naval variant of the B-17, which was designated PB-1W. He lived in Dallas and was a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma.[16][21] Major Curtis J. Rowe was from Hilliard, Ohio and was a member of the Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol since 1988.[22][18]
