Couldn't find a thread on this yet, cool mating dance by a pair of F18's
Luckily the airmen all managed to eject

Videos posted online by spectators showed four parachutes opening in the sky as the aircraft plummet to the ground near the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.

Wonder what the thermal updraft from the explosion is like in a flammable parachute.

The National Weather Service reported good visibility and winds gusting up to 47km/h around the time of the crash.
