Two E/A-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft from the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 collided during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show in Mountain Home, Idaho.
The four crew members ejected safely after the collision and are being evaluated by medical personnel. The incident occurred two miles northwest of the base and was captured in dramatic videos.
The cause of the mishap is not yet confirmed, but it is believed the leading Growler may have been in the under-nose blind spot of the trailing one right before impact. The Navy has released a statement and an investigation is underway.
