908th delayed another 24 hours

The 908th Airlift Wing's deployment has been delayed another 24 hours due to the volcanic ash that is slowing air travel.

The main group of airmen were scheduled to depart over the weekend, but have been delayed multiple times.

A total of 150 airmen and several of the wing's C-130 cargo planes are going on a volunteer 4-month deployment to support combat missions in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Horn of Africa. The advance party left the first weekend in May.

The last time the 908th deployed to the desert was in 2008.
