Recorded audio from the air show’s radio transmission provided insight into the crews’ final communications.
Just before the collision, the air show’s air boss was directing a three-aircraft fighter formation that included the P-63 and a five-ship bomber formation that included the B-17. The air boss instructed both formations to travel southwest of the runway before returning to the air show’s designated performance area.

The report says no altitude maneuvers were discussed before the flight or while the planes were in the air. When the fighter formation approached the performance area, the report says, the P-63 was in a left bank and collided with the left side of the B-17..
