On Friday Alaska Airlines revealed the new Russell Wilson airplane as excited fans packed the C gate at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ready for the flight to Pittsburgh for Sunday's Seahawks game.
In honor of Wilson's jersey number, the airline launched a new program called "Flight 3."
For all of the Seahawks away games where Alaska flies, the airline will host a tailgate party featuring a DJ, games, and breakfast for a very lucky group of travelers.
Fans boarding the Russell Wilson plane on Friday were met at the gate with music, food, and a photo booth.
"I was so surprised. I had no idea this was going on," one Seahawks fan said. "It's a fun way to get the day started, and I am excited for the game."
The aircraft is the second in Alaska's fleet.
Passengers on board were also treated with Russell Wilson swag waiting for them at their seats.
