Two US Navy EA-18G Growler jets collide during an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, prompting emergency response and an investigation. The incident occurs during the “Gunfighter Skies Air Show,” about 50 miles south of Boise, with the jets performing an aerial demonstration. Multiple outlets report that the collision happens roughly two miles from the base while the aircraft are demonstrating for the public. US Navy spokesperson Cmdr. Amelia Umayam says four crew members from both jets are involved, and all four safely eject. Several reports describe the aircrew as being in stable condition afterward, and the jets crash on or near the airfield area. The base places the facility in lockdown following the incident, and the air show is halted as responders attend to the crash site. Civilian representatives connected to the event also say no one on the ground at the base is hurt. Authorities and the military are investigating how the jets come into contact during what is described as a controlled display flight. Officials say additional details will be released as they become available.
