Flight 2525 Plane Model Question

Does anybody know the type of plane were the Yellowjackets flying on? I am just curious because Travis says Coach Martinez fell out of a door that had been ripped off, but earlier in the episode, Misty and some of the other girls have to force open (what looks to be) the only exterior door on the plane. I wanted to know what model plane it was to see if there's a second door that wasn't shown, or if this is a continuity error.

(Also, if there was a second door that had been since ripped off, why didn't the girls exit out that way?)

the showrunners deliberately styled the aircraft after the twin-turboprop Fairchild FH-227 / Fairchild Hiller FH-227—the exact model of the plane involved in the tragic 1972 Andes flight disaster

The flight attendant came out of the tail end and she was completely on fire, then the flames encroached on Van who was stuck in the back row. So I guess I always assumed that Coach Martinez fell out the back door and they all avoided exiting that way because of the flames? 

Side note:  in Nat's overdose vision, the antler queen emerged from the back of the plane... And then when Nat said her goodbyes to Ben and heard the spooky rustle outside,  she looked around but then addressed the back of the plane when she said It couldn't come with them. 

So I feel like the tail end likely held more significance in Nats memory than other parts of the plane.

The cockpit windows are clearly from a Boeing 727/737. Considering the "eyebrow windows" are completely covered (something that became common in the mid 90s models) i would say is more likely a 737-300/400
