Brent Johnson was enjoying a Saturday afternoon in his backyard when a piece of an aircraft fell into his neighbor's yard.
Johnson, who lives a mile north from Dallas Executive Airport, took some time to take in the sights and sounds of the Commemorative Air Force 'Wings Over Dallas' Airshow.
"I noticed a shadow going across my lawn. It was a big shadow and I thought to myself, 'That's a big bird.' I see this huge piece of metal fall from the sky and land in my neighbor's yard," said Johnson.
Johnson said the landing sounded "like a car crash."
"When I looked, it had had oil over it and I could tell it was a piece of an airplane that had just flown over," said Johnson. "The piece could've easily fallen on my home. It could've easily fallen on anyone's home around here."
A Commemorative Air Force spokesperson acknowledged the incident in a statement to NBC 5.
"We have retrieved the part. It detached when the aircraft was landing. There were no injuries and the aircraft landed safely," said CAF VP of Marketing Leah Block.
