DAYTON, Ohio (WHIO, FOX NEWS)- The Vectren Dayton Air Show has been cancelled for the day in the aftermath of a fiery crash Saturday afternoon, killing the pilot and stunt walker instantly, authorities said.

The plane burst into flames as it hit the ground. A fire truck was at the crash within seconds and the flames have been extinguished.

This was the third act at the 39th Vectren Dayton Air Show.
