SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Alaska Airlines is scheduled to unveil its new commuter aircraft painted in the red and black of San Diego State University Thursday.  The carrier also plans to take school officials, alumni and others for a short demonstration flight around the area aboard the 76-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop, which will be operated by its commuter affiliate, Horizon Air.  It's the airline's ninth plane sporting college colors. The others are Boise State, Idaho, Montana, Montana State, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State.   The airline is scheduled to begin nonstop service from San Diego to Fresno, Monterey and Santa Rosa early next month.
