NEAR HILT, Calif. -- A massive plane is hitching a ride along I-5 for a trip north.
A B-1 bomber is being towed along the Interstate on a course for Washington state.
The airplane left Tucson more than a week ago on its way to the Boeing plant in Washington, but it's been a slow trip. The Oregon Department of Transportation says the plane will be hauled overnight at about 20 to 45 miles per hour, and even slower on climbs.
A major hurdle is the Siskiyou Passes and Southern Oregon. The hauling company, Contractors Cargo, says it cannot comment on the move because of a confidentiality agreement they have signed, but a security car is accompanying the 26-foot plane.
