Two US Navy EA-18G Growler jets collided mid-air during an aerial demonstration at the Gunfighter Skies air show in Idaho on Sunday. All four crew members safely ejected before the aircraft crashed near Mountain Home Air Force Base, officials said. Videos from spectators showed the jets appearing to touch before spiralling downward and exploding on impact. The injured crew members were reported to be in stable condition. The air show was immediately cancelled after the crash. The US Navy has launched an investigation into the incident, while aviation experts said formation flying leaves little room for error during such performances.
