A 4.5-mile route has been announced for Tuesday’s procession escorting the remains of U.S. Army Sgt. Jonathon Hunter, who died during an Aug. 2 ambush in Afghanistan, from Columbus Municipal Airport to Barkes, Weaver & Glick Funeral Home.

The Columbus Police Department says that a military aircraft carrying Sgt. Hunter is scheduled to touch down at Columbus Municipal Airport at approximately 10:40 a.m. The procession will leave the airport at approximately 11 a.m. and travel south on Ray Boll Boulevard. The procession will turn west on Arnold Street and then go south on Central Avenue. It will turn west on 25th Street and then south on Washington Street, where it will conclude at the funeral home at 1029 Washington Street.

Authorities say that motorcyclists wishing to participate in the escort will need to arrive at the airport gate on Middle Road to check in starting at 9:30 a.m. All riders must arrive and be staged no later than 10:15 a.m.

Since the public viewing area at the airport is limited in size, you are encouraged to line the procession route.

CPD says that additional information will be made available early next week in regards to Sgt. Hunter’s funeral at Columbus East High School. That is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 26th.
