Four crew members ejected safely after two military jets collided mid-air during an air show near Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, the U.S. Navy confirmed.
The E/A-18G Growler jets crashed Sunday during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show, about 2 miles from the base. Both aircraft had two-person crews.
According to Cmdr. Amelia Umayam, the collision occurred at around 12:10 p.m. MDT while the jets performed an aerial demonstration. All four crew members ejected safely.
The incident is under investigation. The jets belonged to Electronic Attack Squadron 129 from Whidbey Island, Washington.
A section of State Highway 167 will remain closed for several days as investigators examine the crash site.
This was the first Gunfighter Skies Air Show in eight years. The previous show in 2018 saw a hang glider pilot die in a crash.
