2 hours ago2 hr No. Apparently, the flight left Boise about 2:23 MT and was scheduled to arrive in Eugene approx 2:30 PT.The flight did not land. There was rain in Eugene at that time and the Sun Country charter flight pilots circled Eugene waiting for a weather break. After a period of time, they decided to divert to Portland.The flight landed in Portland, but rather than attempt to fly back to Eugene a decision was made to bus to Eugene on Friday evening. But, the contracted buses were in Eugene. So, the team waited in Portland for the buses to arrive.Last estimate I read would put the team in Eugene sometime around 9:00 pm or a bit thereafter.All my notes are based on a BSU beat writer's Twitter/X account.
