## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THIS PILOT AND AIRCRAFT WAS THE THIRD AIRCRAFT IN A FLIGHT OF THREE AIRCRAFT THAT DEPARTED SHIREMANSTOWN, PA FOR HAGERSTOWN, ME. ON LANDING AT HAGERSTOWN, THE AIRCRAFT MADE A FORMATION LANDING IN TRAIL. THIS AIRCRAFT WAS THE LAST AIRCRAFT IN THE FORMATION. THE PILOT STATED THAT JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED THE TURBULENCE PRODUCED BY THE FIRST TWO AIRCRAFT. HIS AIRCRAFT FIRST DIPPED LEFT WING LOW, THEN RIGHT WING LOW. WHEN THE WHEELS TOUCHED THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT YAWED TO THE LEFT AND RAN OFF THE RUNWAY BEFORE HE COULD STOP IT. IT THEN STRUCK THE VASI LIGHT ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY CAUSING A NICK ON THE PROPELLER AND A DENT IN THE ENGINE EXHAUST STACK. THE VASI LIGHT WAS DESTROYED. NO INJURIES WERE INCURRED. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
