Two jets crash during Idaho air show as emergency crews rush to scene
Two jets crashed during the second day of the Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho on Sunday, prompting a lockdown at the installation, according to local reports and eyewitnesses.
In a statement posted to Facebook, Mountain Home Gunfighters said “an aircraft incident has occurred at Mountain Home Air Force Base during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show two miles northwest of the base.”
“Emergency responders are on the scene, an investigation is underway and more details will be released as they become available,” the statement added.
Videos posted to social media appear to show two jets colliding midair before four parachutes deploy. The aircraft then fall to the ground before exploding, sending thick black smoke billowing into the air.
