The airplane is a military version of a Boeing 757 jetliner. A deep set of tire ruts highlighted by dark skid marks extend more than half a mile down the runway. Facilities director Brian Denmark says city staff made it clear to the pilots and the president's travel team that the airport could not handle the weight of a 757. The city has closed the runway indefinitely. The airport has three runways. abclocal.go.com
