Two 🇺🇸 US Navy jets collided during an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, sending both aircraft crashing to the ground in front of spectators. All four crew members ejected safely before impact.

Well done China, your Electronic Warfare System is really doing wonders in Amerika, especially when Trump just returned from China on his futile talks & trade deals.

The Orange Baboon will be wondering where the rain start beating him.

I expect to see news of Amerikan War Vessels colliding against themselves in the Pacific Ocean in the days to come. grin

The wargaming did not start today.

The pilots ejected. They didn't die. That's the most important news here.

Watch as Nigerian Iranians will come and gloat over this.
Since it fits their narrative, they will be happy,
When it doesn't fit their narrative, they slide in shame.
This is a typical response to silly Nigerian Iranians:

Headline: US Aircraft Collides Mid-Air in Air Show
Nigerian Iranian response: grin grin grin Now, Obedients should see that their weak US is not even as powerful as Hamas

Headline: US takes out ISIS jeehardeest in Nigeria
Nigerian Iranian response: grin grin grin Now, Obedients will not be happy that their strong US is helping Nigeria.

The dudes don't even understand themselves.
grin grin grin grin

Bernoulli effect.

The rear jet got caught in the wake of the lead aircraft causing it to flutter

The principle explains that a fluid moving horizontally increases speed as it is entering an area of low pressure and vice versa.

The lead aircraft caused a wake of high pressure from its jet exhaust which saw the rear aircraft lose speed and control making it collide with the lead aircraft which was at the critical moment reducing its own speed which saw the rear aircraft speed increase all of a sudden .

And most likely will be retired to a desk or ground training position.

Ejecting from a fighter jet does irreparable damage to one's spine making it near impossible to control breathing and blood flow during high G force acceleration.

The US military has it as policy that every pilot who has done at least two ejections be grounded for life. Some pilots show irreparable damage to their spines in just one ejection due to the high G force acceleration that comes from ejecting from an aircraft.

The Russians for this same reason do not use rocket ejection seats, rather the cockpit disengages from the entire fuselage

The Jet pilot flying above the other pilot caused the avoidable mishap. Didn't they rehearse the flying pattern? As soon the one below began to rise, he too must have initiated an upward movement to avoid collision. This is the mistake pf poor training. cry

I’m shocked they didn’t burst into flames on contact. That’s what Hollywood movies taught us to expect.
