As Alaska Airlines sends its beloved fleet of Dash 8-Q400s into retirement, I had to get one last ride on one! These turboprop regional aircraft are operated by Alaska Air's regional subsidiary Horizon Air, which is replacing the Q400 with Embraer E175s.
Back in the day, Horizon Air was its own separate brand until the two airlines made the decision to phase that brand out in favor of the quickly expanding mainline Alaska Airlines. One of my all-time favorite corporate logos is the Native-looking Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air script that was around until 2016 when the airline reinvented itself as a trendy alternative to traditional airlines. Alaska Air ditched that native look in favor of a sleek blue logo that lacks much of the character the old one had.
The final Horizon Air Dash 8-Q400 flight was the day before my birthday, so unfortunately I couldn't be onboard it. @ITripReport filmed a great video on it, so I recommend you check it out! • Horizon Air Q400 Retirement Flight
