AS 738 at PUW
Just a friendly heads up for any of our FT folks in Pullman, an AS 738 will be at PUW later tonight bringing the Wazzu football team back from L.A.

Out of curiosity, is WSU using AS for charters this year? I think in the past it's usually been F9.

Glad to see WSU using AS (Not sure if its a long term thing or not)... sadly I'm not in PUW right now, but have a couple friends who will be woken by its engines tomorrow morning
Here was the outbound flight on a 73H!

AS was able to get a 73H into PUW last year for the Huskies. I've been told that's the largest plane ever into PUW. Flying AS over F9 gives the Cougs 157 seats vs 136 on the 319. Plus F9 is flying with 6-9 fewer aircraft than this time last year and they may have something to do with it too. Then again, F9 flew in San Diego St. into PUW last weekend and F9 is currently flying Boise State back from Toledo.

There was an AS 739 charter from SEA-SJC on Friday as well (return flight Sat night).
Guess they gotta find something to do with those idle aircraft...
Hey, I have family members who went there!

Usually it's coaches and captains up front (if there's room). At least that's how it works for the University of Arizona's charters. In the player's section in the back it's usually 2x to a row so not that bad.

Back in 1997 Paul Allen had his 757 flown in to PUW when he came over for a fraternity event. It was quite a site seeing a plane on the tarmac that was several times larger than the terminal. As I remember he had to get special FAA clearance to fly into that small of an airport (ie short and narrow runway)

I've even peddled the idea of flying AS into PUW on heavy days (ie- school breaks) as if the seats were cheap enough, it would fill up in no time-!
But IIRC, PUW just went under an upgrade so it is more capable of having larger A/C utilize it...
