Two fighter jets collided midair during an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base Sunday — and the terrifying moment was all caught on video.
Footage circulating online shows the planes tangling together in the sky before plunging toward the ground … with four parachutes suddenly popping open moments later.

The base was immediately locked down following the crash during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show as emergency crews rushed to the scene and investigators launched a probe.
Thankfully, officials later announced the aircrew members involved were able to eject and parachute to safety.
The Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunfighters confirm to TMZ in a press release … “On May 17, 2026, two U.S. Navy EA18-G assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 129 from Whidbey Island, Washington had a mid-air collisionwhile performing an aerial demonstration involving four aircrew for the Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunfighter Skies Air Show, near Mountain Home Air Force Base at about 12:10 p.m. MDT.”
The spokesperson continues to say … “All four of the air crew successfully ejected and they are being evaluated by medical personnel. First responders are on the scene. The incident is under investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.”
The event returned after an 8 year break to celebrate aviation history and modern military power — with flying demos, parachute stunts and appearances from the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.
