SAN ANTONIO — Drivers on Interstate 10 between Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland and Camp Bullis early Sunday may experience delays caused by aircraft.

A retired C-130 Hercules cargo plane is being transported from Kelly Field to Camp Bullis, starting at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the U.S. Air Force.

Colleen McGee, spokeswoman for the 37th Training Wing, said moving the plane could take between four and five hours.

The cargo plane is being dismantled for transport and will travel west on U.S. 90, then east on Loop 1604 and finally north on I-10, using frontage roads when feasible, she said.

The plane will serve as a training tool for military medics, who will learn to set it up as a flying hospital.

“It's kind of nice to get an airframe they're actually going to be using in the world once they complete their training,” McGee said.
