Old Mesaba Tail #s

I'm cleaning up my logbooks, and I found some incomplete tail numbers. Anyone remember the full tail numbers for:
142 <--- "Frankenstein"
991
327 <--- "Flap Dropper"

Don't forget the lovely 590.

991XJ
142XJ

and can't find a 327 in my book. I've got a 27XJ in there along with a lot of other weird tail numbered Saab's.

Thanks guys. 590MA, I remembered that one. 327 was a PX. That's the one where they burned up two sets of engines after the flaps decided to drop to full in cruise.

SN 59


If you're curious it's presently registered as ZS-PMS to Norse Air in South Africa. That's a long way from CMX!

Anybody remember WHY 590MA was doing that?.... After a lot of digging, MX found a brown sticky residue under the cender pedestal in the hell hole on some of the landing gear relays. Believed to be a pepsi that somebody dumped in the cender pedestal but not reported.
