Anyone get a chance to ride this beauty? I've never gotten even close to this one. The UGLY AS SIN green and yellow one dogs me though. Walked up to my gate for a SEA to BOI flight and it was sitting there. Luckily it was for an earlier departure and I didn't have to ride it. Could have booked a trip on Air Canada or Horizon from PDX to Vancouver, turns out I was VERY lucky as I arrived in Vancouver and I taxi up near that monstrosity. Had I chosen Horizon, it would have been my flight. I leave Monday for Vancouver again, on Horizon this time... I hope I don't end up walking because there is no way I'm getting on that think.

Horizon first started doing this in about 2007. Their fleet included a lot of old CRJ-700's. It is a aft mounted twin engine jet. They had one jet in each of OSU, WSU, UO, and UW colors. The folks in Boise complained about being left out. So Horizon painted one of these Dash-8's (the photo above) in Boise's colors. Someone at Horizon had a sense of humor to paint the Pac-10 on jets and the WAC on prop planes.
I'm not sure how they decide which schools to include. I've seen the five already mentioned, U of Idaho, both Montanas, Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks, and San Diego State. SDSU is the outlier. If they want public universities of where they fly, they would need to include a lot of schools. From the Wiki article these are other current destinations: Tucson, Burbank, Fresno, LA, Monterey, Oakland, Ontario, Orange County, Redding, Palm Springs, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Colorado Springs, Denver, Gunninon, Steamboat Springs, Boise, Lewiston, Sun Valley, Twin Falls, Wichita, Minneapolis, Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispel, Missoula, Kansas City, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Reno, Oklahoma City, Eugene, Medford, Portland, Redmond, El Paso, Salt Lake City, Bellingham, Pasco, Pullman, Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Yakima and Milwaukee.
