The mayor of Keller, Texas, said that Terry Barker, an Army veteran and former American Airlines pilot, was in the plane that crashed.

Terry Barker was loved by a lot of people. Mizani wrote that he was a friend and someone who helped him.

Barker's copilot was identified by the Allied Pilots Association.

The Dallas County Judge said on Sunday that authorities were working to identify the remaining victims.

The president of the Commemorative Air Force told the Associated Press that retired pilots usually volunteer to fly at the air show. The planes were in good shape despite being vintage.

The WW2 flight demonstration type air show highlighted the aircraft and their capabilities.

During World War II, the B17 was used in the battle against Germany.
