All four crew members ejected safely, a Naval Air Forces official said
Two US Navy electronic warfare aircraft collided mid-air during a demonstration flight in Idaho before crashing to the ground. All four crew members ejected safely.
The incident took place during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mountain Home Air Force Base. Video from the scene shows two EA-18G Growler jets flying in close formation at low altitude. At one point, the aircraft collide and appear to become entangled before both stall and spiral toward the ground. The pilots eject just seconds after the collision, with four brightly colored parachutes visible in the sky.
"All four members of the aircrew successfully ejected and are being evaluated by medical personnel," Naval Air Forces spokeswoman Commander Amelia Umayam said.
