Four crew members ejected safely from the Navy jets after the crash at Mountain Home Airbase in southwestern Idaho, the Associated Press reported.
In the video, the two jets, identified as Navy Super Hornets/Growlers, collide before crashing to the ground together.
It appears that as the jets were flying in tandem, one lost altitude, making contact with the lower jet and causing the pair to spiral downwards.
Kim Sykes, marketing director for Silver Wings of Idaho, one of the groups involved in planning the airshow told AP the collision happened off base and she did not witness the impact itself but saw smoke rising afterward.
