All Fedex aircraft registration numbers end in "FE".
The aircraft described must have been hit by the blast from a parking Fedex 727. Billings ramp is steep, and huge amounts of power are required if you can't carry enough speed into it.
The writer's command of the King's english is striking, isn't it?

The ATR42s seem to have been allocated serials ending in "FX".
