SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A decommissioned B-1 bomber is passing through Oregon this week on its way for testing at a Washington Boeing plant.
The Statesman Journal (http://stjr.nl/w1FRya ) reports a convoy is scheduled to haul the bomber through Salem on Interstate 5 Tuesday night.
The Oregon Department of Transportation says the supersonic jet is among the largest loads to be hauled through the state.
The partially-dismantled plane is 135 feet long, 29 feet wide and 15 feet high. Its wings have been removed.
