42-39993 SC-C Hell's Angel Out of Chute 13 (AKA Grossly Inadequate)
Hell's Angel out of Chute 13
# 42-39993 SC-C
Unconfirmed Note: This involves 42-31330 Hells Angel Out of Chute 13. It's possible it was first named “Hell’s Angel” and the phrase “Out of Chute `13” was added later and was in reference to the aircraft being assigned to Hardstand #13. “Grossly Inadequate” was added later. Further research is required.
