Firefighters doused the flames within 10 minutes before finding the two people dead inside, said Chino Valley Fire District Battalion Chief Bryan Turner. The plane belonged to the Yanks Air Museum, the Southern California News Group reported. The crash occurred during the Yanks Air Pops & Props event, although it was not immediately clear whether that plane was part of the show.
