MARTINSBURG, W.Va. -- A World War II-era plane has crashed and burst into flames on a runway at a West Virginia air show.
Officials reported no injuries Saturday among spectators at the airfield. Details on the pilot's condition were unavailable.
The crash comes a day after a stunt pilot in Nevada crashed at an air show there, killing nine.
