Runway closed at Portland International Airport after F-15 fighter jet blows tire during landing

A runway is closed at Portland International Airport after a F-15 fighter jet blew a tire while landing.

Crews are cleaning up tire debris but commercial air traffic hasn't been affected, said Kama Simonds, a spokeswoman for the Port of Portland. No injuries were reported.

The 142nd Fighter Wing of the Oregon National Guard is taking part in F-15 night-flying exercises this week, the Oregon Military Department said. They began Monday and will last until Thursday.
