- Date: November 12, 2022
- Aircraft: Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
- Location: Dallas-Executive (Redbird), Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 6
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The air boss and event organizer had no adequate pre briefed separation plan and relied on real time deconfliction and see and avoid, which allowed the loss of separation (NTSB).
A Boeing B 17G and a Bell P 63F collided in flight during a performance at the Wings Over Dallas air show at Dallas Executive Airport. All five aboard the B 17 and the P 63 pilot died, six in total. The NTSB blamed the lack of a pre briefed aircraft separation plan, relying on the air boss's live directions and see and avoid.
