908th delayed again
The 908th Airlift Wing has been delayed again due to the volcanic ash over Europe.
The advance party left last week and the rest of the airmen were scheduled to leave over the weekend.
About 150 people are deploying with several of the wing's C-130 cargo planes. The 908th is the only Air Force Reserve unit in the state and this is their first time back to the desert since 2008.
They'll be flying combat support mission in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Horn of Africa for about four months. Flights crews, maintenance personnel and medical personnel are going on the volunteer deployment.
