NTSB opens public docket on Wings Over Dallas midair collision

By General Aviation News Staff · March 12, 2024 ·

The National Transportation Safety Board has opened the public docket for its ongoing investigation of a midair collision during an air show in Dallas, Texas.

The accident occurred on Nov. 12, 2022, when a Boeing B-17G and a Bell P-63F collided midair during the Wings Over Dallas air show. Five people aboard the two airplanes were fatally injured in the crash.

The docket for this investigation includes more than 1,900 pages of factual information, including reports on operations and human performance factors, airplane performance, airworthiness, and laboratory examinations, according to NTSB officials.

The docket also includes transcripts of recordings, interview transcripts, photographs, and other investigative materials.

​The docket contains only factual information collected by NTSB investigators, officials said, noting it does not provide the final report or a probable cause.

No conclusions about how or why the crash happened should be drawn from the information within the docket, officials added.

The NTSB will issue a final report at a later date that will include analysis, findings, recommendations, and probable cause determinations related to the accident.

The public docket for this investigation is available online.

Additional material may be added to the docket as it becomes available, agency officials said.

The preliminary report, a link to photos, and other information is available on the investigation webpage.
