Airshow crash caught on camera

Posted: Updated:

DAVENPORT, IA (CNN) - A spectator caught dramatic video of that fatal plane crash at an air show in Davenport, Iowa.

The video shows three planes flying in formation. Next thing you see is a fireball after one of the planes crashes in an alfalfa field. This happened during the Quad City Air Show Saturday afternoon.

Police say the pilot, identified as Glenn Smith of Frisco, died on impact. The plane -- a high performance L-39 Albatross jet trainer -- was attempting a 45-degree bank when it crashed. Federal authorities are now investigating the crash.
