People will have a chance to see a C-130H aircraft up close and personal Sunday morning at the Vicksburg Municipal Airport.

North Carolina Air National Guard Master Sgt. Robert Bartlett said seven crew members and 40 Army paratroopers plan to leave Vicksburg at 8 a.m., but will meet with the public and allow them to see the aircraft for about an hour before departure. The Army paratroopers have been training in the Vicksburg area since Thursday.

The airport is located off U.S. 61 South.
