Seattle-based Horizon Air has repainted four of its 70-seat CRJ-700 jets in the school colors of Washington and Oregon's four Pac-10 universities.

The first - in WSU's crimson and gray - rejoined the fleet after being repainted in late December. The rest have followed since. Horizon spokesman Dan Russo said that "by flying their colors - and the colors of their rivals - we're aiming to add fun to the flying experience. We expect this will thrill fans of the school teams, and put a smile on the faces of graduates, current students and university staff." Unless, of course, you're a Cougar booked on the Husky flight.

Horizon plans to use the planes - which until last winter had been leased to Frontier Airlines - on routes between Seattle and Portland and destinations in California and Nevada.
