Three men are dead after two light planes collided midair before crashing into bushland in Sydney's south-west.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene at Belimbla Park, near Oakdale, at about midday after residents witnessed the crash.

At least five ambulance crews along with police and fire crews are parked nearby, with first responders making their way to the two wreckage sites on foot.

The two crash sites are in close proximity and one plane burst into flames on impact.

Police said three men had been found dead at the scene.
