Two EA-18 fighter jets collide at Mountain Home airshow, pilots ejected safely

Two Navy EA-18G Growler jets collided mid-air during an aerial demonstration at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho on Sunday, but all four crew members ejected safely and were evaluated by medical personnel. The aircraft crashed near the base about 50 miles south of Boise, with no injuries to personnel on the ground. This incident occurs as the air show industry has significantly improved safety over the past decade, with fewer than one death per year on average compared to two deaths annually historically.
