A major accident involving two advanced US military aircraft has shocked the American defense sector after the fighter jets collided mid air during a public air show in Idaho. The incident took place during the famous Gunfighter Skies Air Show, where thousands of spectators had gathered to witness aerial combat demonstrations and high speed flying performances.
The two EA 18G Growler fighter jets were reportedly performing synchronized aerial maneuvers when the collision occurred unexpectedly at high speed. Within seconds, both aircraft lost control and exploded in the sky, creating panic among the crowd watching the event. Several eyewitnesses described the moment as terrifying as flames and thick black smoke quickly spread across the area.
Despite the intensity of the crash, all four pilots onboard reacted immediately and managed to eject safely before the aircraft were completely destroyed. Videos shared on social media showed the pilots descending with parachutes while emergency teams rushed to the crash site for rescue operations and safety measures.
Following the incident, authorities immediately suspended the air show and sealed off the Mountain Home Air Force Base area. Military officials shifted the injured pilots to a nearby army hospital for medical examinations. Initial reports suggested that the pilots survived with timely action, though officials have not released detailed health updates.
The US Defense Department has now ordered a high level investigation to determine the exact reason behind the collision. Officials are examining whether technical failure, communication issues, or operational errors led to the dangerous mid air crash involving the two advanced fighter aircraft.
