IDAHO FALLS - Boise State University's blue and orange colors soar to new heights.

It's the newest addition to Horizon Airlines fleet.

For the first time Monday afternoon, the Bronco plane flew into the Idaho Falls Airport.

The blue and orange turbo-prop isn't just for the team but for all of horizon's passengers.

They're putting it into their regular service route and it takes about 40 minutes to fly from IF to Boise.

Inside, members of the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce welcomed the aircraft and celebrated with a ribbon cutting and a BSU cake.

The captain of the inaugural flight says it's an honor to take the company's college fleet to the skies.

"It's the first airplane that has a WAC, Western Athletic Conference, logo on it. The rest of our logo airplanes are PAC 10 airplanes," explained Eric Penwell, Horizon Airlines Captain.

Horizon's Boise State plane will fly over this Saturday’s game against rival University of Idaho.
