UO-themed jet plans Autzen flybys before kickoff
EUGENE, Ore. – Look up to the sky just before kickoff of Saturday’s Oregon football game and you might see a big green and yellow jet cruising over Autzen Stadium.
The UO-themed 70-seat jet will make two flybys just before kickoff of the Washington State game, which is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
- If you snap a photo of the jet in action, share it on YouNews.
Horizon says the plane will make two low-level passes of the stadium. The first will be from the northwest to the southeast, giving people on the north side of Autzen a view. The plane will then fly from the southeast to the northwest so the south side can see.
Horizon has a series of college-themed jets. Oregon State, Washington and Washington State currently have planes. A Boise State jet will join the fleet next month.
If you want to fly the UO jet (or the OSU jet), the CRJ-700 model planes primarily fly Horizon’s longer routes, including flights to California from Seattle, Spokane, Boise and Portland.
