Airframe story
N651QX is registered to Horizon Air Industries Inc, listed in FAA records since 2019, and carries a special tribute livery. It is the third Honoring Those Who Serve aircraft in the fleet, a Horizon aircraft paying tribute to US military members, veterans, fallen soldiers and their families. The scheme was conceived by a small group of Alaska maintenance technicians and was designed to honor those who serve today and those who served in the past. Its design includes a red stripe and blue body evoking the American flag, along with the phrase "Honoring Those Who Serve" on the fuselage. The facts list the airframe as an EMBRAER ERJ 170-200 LR from 2019, and its recent movements place it at KSEA, KPAE, and now CYVR, where it is in an ongoing multi-day stay.
