Just before a midair collision that killed six at a Dallas air show, a group of historic fighter planes were told to fly ahead of a formation of bombers without any prior plan for coordinating altitude, according to a federal report released Wednesday.

Eric Weiss, an NTSB spokesperson, said the agency is trying to determine the sequence of maneuvers that led to the crash. It is also examining whether such air shows normally have altitude deconfliction plans. The NTSB said the fighter formation had been told by the air boss to proceed to a line that was 500 feet from where the audience was lined up at Dallas Executive Airport, while the bomber formation was told to fly 1,000 feet from the audience viewing area.
