Four crew members ejected safely after two Navy jets crash during air show in Idaho, organizer says
The Navy said investigators are reviewing video and witness accounts after both crews survived the collision and parachuted to safety.
- On Sunday, two F-18 Growlers crashed during the Fighter Skies Airshow at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, prompting an immediate lockdown of the facility.
- Marking the first Gunfighter Skies Air Show in eight years, the event returned following a 2018 accident that killed a hang glider pilot.
- Initial reports indicate the jets collided mid-air roughly two miles from the base, with witnesses observing four parachutes deploying successfully as smoke rose from the ground.
- Announcements at the base confirmed all pilots and crew members parachuted safely and are accounted for, while emergency crews including a helicopter responded to the scene as an investigation began.
- The Mountain Home Police canceled the remainder of the Fighter Skies Airshow and urged the public to avoid the base while responders continue their work.
