It is believed that the aircraft had crashed at the end of the runway as it was attempting to land. It is not known the number of fatalities or injuries at this time.
Airport officials had also shared online they have fire and rescue operations underway and have been battling the blaze. The aircraft most likely was part of the Wings Of Freedom tour as the previous tweet on the airport’s Twitter account shared the news of them being there earlier this week.
