We are in the middle of college football season and that of course means there are charter flights roaming around taking football teams around! I missed several charter flights for BYU a month ago when they went out to New Orleans to play against Louisiana State University. Since then, it's been mostly local or in-state for BYU football (not that they're having a great season anyways!) so there hasn't been any charter flights. Today, the Boise State University Broncos football team flew into Provo on a Sun Country Airlines 737-800 and of course, I had to chase it down!

| Sun Country Airlines Boeing 737-8FH (N820SY) "Lake Minnetonka" on short final for 13 arriving from Boise as SCX8687 with the Boise State football team on board. |
 |
| Note the name "Lake Minnetonka" adorned on the aircraft's nose; in April of this year, the airline announced that all their planes were going to be named after a different Minnesota lake in the hopes of endearing itself to its customers and that it promotes the state to people in other markets. As a Minnesota-based carrier, this a good way to show pride for the company's home state! |
