Four US Navy crew members narrowly escaped death after two EA-18G Growler aircraft collided and crashed during an aerial demonstration at Mountain Home Air Force Base in western Idaho .
The aircraft, from Electronic Attack Squadron 129 based at Whidbey Island, Washington, were performing a routine display when the mid-air collision occurred. The four were, however, ejected safely.
Spokesperson for Naval Air Forces Commander Amelia Umayam confirmed the incident in a statement seen by BBC.
Videos captured by spectators show the jets making contact and spinning together before the crew ejects.
