Idaho air show horror after 2 jets crash in front of frightened spectators
Two Navy EA-18G Growler jets collided during the Gunfighter Skies air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, with all four crew members ejecting safely and the remainder of the show canceled. Reports consistently note an ongoing investigation into the cause. Some outlets specify the jets were from Electronic Attack Squadron 129 and that this was the first show at the base since a 2018 death, while others simply cite midair collision and safe ejections. Affected parties include base personnel and attendees who witnessed the incident; no casualties among aircrew are confirmed in the synchronized coverage.
Concrete downstream impact: the air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base was canceled following the midair collision, with all crew members reported as ejecting safely and an investigation underway, per Associated Press and NPR. The incident prompted base lockdown and emergency response noted by The Guardian US and The Hill, reflecting security and operations disruption at the base.
