Two Navy EA-18G Growler jets collided mid-air Sunday afternoon during the Gunfighter Skies air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, sending both crews ejecting and triggering a full lockdown of the military installation.

The shocking incident occurred in front of thousands of people who had packed the base for the first major air show there since 2018.

Video captured at the scene shows the two aircraft, part of the Navy’s VAQ-129 Growler Demo Team, coming together in close formation before slamming into each other.

Moments later, four parachutes deployed.

The base was immediately placed on lockdown while emergency responders rushed to the scene.

No injuries have been reported from the pilots or ground spectators at the time of publishing.

The condition of the people who ejected in parachutes is currently unknown.

The Gunfighter Skies 2026 air show, themed “Freedom Takes Flight,” was celebrating America’s 250th birthday and featured a mix of historic warbirds and modern fighter jets, including performances by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

The cause of Sunday’s collision remains under investigation.

High winds have been reported in the area all weekend, and some attendees noted that portions of the show had already been affected by the weather.

This situation is currently unfolding. This story will be updated as additional information becomes available.
