Two U.S. Navy jets collided in midair during an air show at an Idaho Air Force base on Sunday, prompting an immediate lockdown of the installation and a response from emergency personnel. All four aviators involved in the collision ejected safely, according to officials.

The collision occurred during the air show performance, with witnesses and video capturing the moment the two aircraft made contact before the crew members deployed their ejection seats. The base was placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure while rescue teams located and assisted the ejected aviators.

Military officials confirmed that all four crew members were recovered following the incident. The Navy has not yet released the identities of the aviators involved or detailed information about the aircraft types involved in the collision.

An investigation into the cause of the midair collision is expected to be launched by the Navy and potentially other military authorities. Air show events across the country regularly draw large crowds and feature precision flying demonstrations, with strict safety protocols in place to minimize risks to both participants and spectators.

The incident is among the more serious air show accidents involving military aircraft in recent years, though the successful ejection of all four crew members is being noted as a significant outcome given the circumstances of the collision.
