As a result of the crash, 6 men on board the aircraft died.

The members on board the B-17 were; Captain Terry Barker, an American Airlines pilot for 36 years, Major Curt Rowe, who was with the Civil Air Patrol for over 30 years, Kevin Michel, a historian and member of the flight crew, Dan Ragan, a Korean War veteran from Dallas, and Leonard Root, a retired American Airlines pilot.

The sole member on board P-63 was Craig Hutain, United Airlines pilot who was set to retire soon.
