An airplane caught on fire during an air show in Laredo, Texas, on Sunday, leaving one person injured.

The incident happened shortly before 1 p.m. at the Laredo International Airport, where the aircraft was participating in the WBCA Stars & Stripes Air Show Spectacular.

Only one plane was involved, according to KGNS. The plane’s engine caught on fire while in the air, but the pilot landed the plane and the fire was put out once on the ground.

The pilot, a man in his 70s, was transported to the Laredo Medical Center in critical condition following the incident. He was then transferred to San Antonio for observation.

“The plane did have mechanical issues in the air and had to do an emergency landing,” Laredo Fire Department spokesperson Hernan Martinez told the Laredo Morning Times. “The pilot did suffer injuries, facial and head, and he is going to be flown out to San Antonio by air. We have all units standing by for the protection of the pilots, and he will be taken to the hospital for further evaluation.”
