Alaska/Horizon to Paint Q400 in San Diego St Colors

San Diego State University's hallmark scarlet and black colors and logo will soon be featured on an Alaska Airlines 76-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop. To celebrate, Alaska and the university are partnering with San Diego radio stations to give Aztec fans a chance to win a seat onboard the maiden flight.
Rest of the press release is here.

AS: When will you paint a plane in Cal colors?

Great to see the university themed aircraft continue with this addition to the Q400 fleet! Now just to see Portland State Vikings adorning one

Strange move. Q400's from AS don't even go to San Diego (I think). Just seems like an odd school to partner with.

AS is adding Q400 service to MRY, FAT, and STS next month from SAN.

Alaska currently has service scheduled to start from Fresno and Santa Rosa. For awhile Horizon flew San Diego to San Francisco and they did a Boise-San Diego flight for awhile as well. Hopefully this means that with a plane in these colors it means they'll stay for awhile this time and perhaps even expand there.

I don't remember a SAN-SFO flight, but I know they used to fly SAN-PDX on a CR7.

SAN-GEG was a short lived run...

Airlines generally try to prevent air sickness for their passengers when they can.
