The beloved giant pandas at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C., are leaving for China on Wednesday morning, almost one month earlier than their stay's expiration date.
The pandas will be loaded onto the FedEx Panda Express, a custom Boeing 777K aircraft at Dulles International Airport. The furry travelers will be accompanied by animal care experts on their 19-hour flight from D.C. to Chengdu, China, which is set to depart at approximately 1 p.m. Eastern time. The flight will include a brief refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska, the Smithsonian said.
