color:black'>Horizon Air last year launched a 76-seat Bombardier Q400 painted
in Boise State blue and orange. At that time, officials said they had no plans
for a plane to honor the University of Idaho Vandals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>But
on Monday, Horizon and the University of Idaho announced that the airline will
launch a silver-and-gold Vandal-themed plane after all. The Q400 will have a
silver "I" logo on the gold tail and the words "Idaho
Vandals" in gold on both sides. The plane will be unveiled Nov. 10.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>"We're
pleased Horizon Air is including the state's leading, national research
university in its fleet of collegiate airplanes," <strong><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Duane Nellis</span></strong>,
University of Idaho president, said in a press release Monday. "Horizon
has been a terrific partner of ours for many years and we are glad to see a
silver and gold plane come to fruition."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Horizon
is also having two planes painted in the colors of the Montana Grizzlies and
Montana State Bobcats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Horizon
Air spokeswoman <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jen
Boyer</span></strong> told the <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Idaho
Statesman</span></em> Monday that the decision to add the new university-themed
planes was made when three planes needed repainting. There will be no cost to
the universities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>"It's
a decision that was made recently to round out our Pacific Northwest heritage
fleet," Boyer said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>When
the three new planes are completed, Horizon's heritage fleet will have planes
representing two universities in each of four Northwest states - Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The
launch last fall of the Boise State Bronco plane didn't sit well with some
Vandals. In November, Vandals athletic director <strong><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>Rob Spear</span></strong> refused to board the Boise
State-themed plane from Moscow to Boise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Spear
said he boycotted the Bronco plane and drove to Spokane's airport instead to
protest the lack of a Vandal plane.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>"The
University of Idaho is the state's flagship university," he said in a
written statement, later adding: "The University of Idaho very likely
utilizes Horizon Airlines more than any institution in the state."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Horizon's
other university-themed planes are: Boise State University, Oregon State
University, the University of Oregon, the University of Washington and Washington
State University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>“In
the nearly 25 years I have been with Horizon, I can think of nothing that has
generated as much excitement among our customers as our university-themed
aircraft,” <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dan Russo</span></strong>,
Horizon’s vice president of marketing and Communications, said in a press
release Monday. “Now, with the University of Idaho and Montana’s largest public
universities joining our fleet, we look forward to thrilling even more school
fans.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The
University of Montana plane will be unveiled Nov. 19 at at Missoula International
Airport/Johnson-Bell Field. The Montana State University plane will be unveiled
Nov. 30 at Gallatin Field in Bozeman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
