FAA Releases Audio in Deadly Dallas Air Show Crash

DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The Federal Aviation Administration is releasing audio from the midair collision that killed six people during the Wings Over Dallas Air Show at Dallas Executive Airport last November.

In the recordings, the air boss is heard in the final transmission before two World War II era planes collided.

“Fighters there’s going to be a big pull up and to the right,” he was heard saying.

Then the mid air collision happened, and immediate concern was heard over the airwaves. The air boss called for first responders.

“Knock it off, Knock it off, roll the trucks,” he said. Roll the trucks, roll the trucks, knock it off, roll the trucks.”

Below is a portion of the audio released by the FAA:

Months later, Federal investigators are still looking into the crash, and an independent contractor will review the airport response.
