First air show since the most recent crash
All four crew members safely ejected from the jets, local media noted.
A spokesperson for the base told Reuters that emergency responders are on the scene and an investigation is underway.
This is the third major incident in 23 years at the Gunfighters Air Show, with the most recent being a fatal 2018 civilian glider crash.
This is their first airshow since a hiatus resulting from the 2018 incident.
This is a developing story.
