Four crew members are in stable condition after two fighter jets collided mid-air during a US air show, officials say.
All the aircrew safely ejected from US Navy EA18-G jets that were performing an aerial demonstration when they crashed.
The dramatic incident happened on Sunday, during the second and final day of the Gunfighter Skies air show in Idaho.

Occupants of the lower plane are lucky as hell the top plane was offset. Another couple of feet and they impact the other aircraft.

Was that a pilot ejection, or something the plane did automatically?

I was sort of amazing how the jets seemed to become meshed together.

I can only assume the military uses them as training exercises open to the public rather than just a pointless stunt show. At least I hope.
