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

NARRATIVE: ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1996, MR. CLIFFORD R. ASH, HOLDER OF COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATE NO.1819740, ACTED AS PILOT IN COMMAND OF A WEATHERLY 620B, N2035X. WHILE CONDUCTING AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 137, MR. ASH STRUCK A POWER POLE WITH THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR. UPON LANDING AT MATHIS FIELD, SAN ANGELO, TX THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND MR. ASH WAS NOT INJURED. IT IS THE OPINION OF THIS OFFICE THAT THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.

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.
