The airport authority said they did not appear to be injured, but they were transported to a nearby hospital as a precaution.
The plane struck unoccupied vehicles and no one was injured, the statement reported.
The two-seater plane, with registration N23UB, was owned by former Navy A-6 Intruder pilot Dan Flier, The War Zone reported.
The plane had been to several airshows this year. It is popular with airplane enthusiasts since complex Soviet-era fighter aircrafts are rarely seen in flying form, the outlet explained.
Thunder Over Michigan canceled the remainder of the show following the incident.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.
