Mountain Home AFB is between Twin Falls and Boise, they fly a lot of F15's there among others.
Those are F-15s. Dual vertical stabilizers mean it's either a 15 or a Su-27/MiG-29 hahaha. If they're out of Mt Home then they're probably Strike Eagles, but they could also be C models from a Guard/ANG unit. No way to tell from the pics.
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.

10 miles south of Twin Falls, ID these 4 planes flew what felt like 500 feet over my head in a perfect diamond formation while I was riding. Was one of the coolest things I’ve had happen on a ride. No idea what planes they are or what they were doing there. Maybe there’s a base nearby? Here’s the best pictures I could get.
I recognized the blue angels from your photo. I looked it up and they were there for the Twin Falls Air Show on the 16th and 17th. They were here in TN for a show in early June and I happened to see them practicing a day before the show.
Been seeing all kinds of videos from the Chicago Air Show over the weekend. Holy hell. They're buzzing Wrigley Field during games. They're flying between buildings on occasion. (Most of it is over Lake Michigan)

The Blue Angels fly the F-18 Super Hornet. They are based out of NAS Pensacola about about 19 miles from the house.
They put on an awesome show

Oops. Should have been checking more frequently while in the heat. At a shop now getting them replaced.
Glad you saw that. It could have ruined your week
F-35 maybe?
Couldn’t tell you the first thing about planes like that. Maybe @VegasFrank knows?
F-35, F-36. Whatever it takes.
You sank my battleship!

You have to see some great flying.
@CharlieHeis said I should try to pet it.
Best $20 I ever spent, non cigar category.

I would forget these somewhere 100% guaranteed, have already forgotten 2 separate toothbrushes on this trip.
