From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: incident; at approximately 1943, aero exo flight #507, from vsa-mco, arrived at gate 22, and stopped short of the gate to wait for someone to marshal the aircraft to the jet-way. Robbie pool a signature supervisor immediately summoned terrance l. franklin, privacy data omitted to marshal the aircraft up to the jetway at gate 22. Terrance positioned himself on the left side of the aircraft so he was visible to the aircraft commander and signaled to the aircraft commander to taxi, during this time miguel labrador, signature employee, privacy data omitted was also coming from the left side of the aircraft to the right side of the aircraft to chock the aircraft. By the time miguel got to the right side of the aircraft the aircraft's right wing had impacted one of two jerry's caterers trucks parked in an aircraft sterile area. David roman, the driver of the truck that was struck by the aircraft was inside the signature operations area. Further questioning of terrance franklin revealed that there wasn't a wing-walker assisting him to park the aircraft. Ron curet facilities manager was summoned for assistance moving the truck. He ordered a crane, two front-end loaders and a tug from signature to pull the truck away from the aircraft. The truck was removed from the accident site at 2135.
