The “Gunfighter Skies” airshow program, held at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho on March 16 and 17, featured an impressive lineup. In addition to the US Air Force’s Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team, there were flight displays of legendary combat aircraft, including the P-38 Lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, and F-86 Sabre.

During a demonstration, two EA-18 Growler electronic warfare aircraft from the US Navy experienced a collision. This incident raises critical questions about safety protocols and operational procedures during airshows.
