MANILA-The Philippine Air Force (PAF) announced that one of its PTDI NC-212i light transport aircraft busted its right main tire wheel while landing at the Laoag International Airport in Ilocos Norte Friday morning.
"On or about 10:32 a.m. 13 May 2022, a NC-212i with tail (number) 2119 experienced a blown tire during landing roll at Laoag Airport.
