Hillsboro, Ore. ? A vintage British fighter jet crashed into a densely populated neighborhood near an airport during an air show Sunday afternoon, exploding, destroying a home and killing the pilot.

Fire officials said no residents or others on the ground were hurt.

The 1951 jet was taking off from the Hillsboro Airport to return to California when it went down, said Connie King, a spokeswoman for the Hillsboro Fire Department.

The jet slammed into a house at 4:28 p.m. and destroyed it, she said. No one was home at the time, she said. The pilot’s name was not immediately released.

Another house with people inside sustained “significant damage,” but no one was hurt, King said. The attic exterior of a third house was damaged, and there was fire damage in the yard of another, she said.
