Mountain Home Air Force Base outside of Boise, Idaho, was locked down Sunday afternoon after two U.S. Navy jets performing at an air show crashed in midair, according to authorities and bystander video of the incident.

The two Navy EA-18 Growler jets collided in midair during the Gunfighter Skies Air Show, according to a Navy spokesperson.

"All four of the air crew successfully ejected," Cmdr. Amelia Umayam, a spokesperson for the Naval Air Force U.S. Pacific Fleet, said in a statement. All four are in stable condition, according to the Mountain Home Air Force Base Gunfighters.

Umayam said the crash occurred around 12:10 p.m. MDT while the crews were performing an aerial demonstration.
