NARRATIVE: PILOT INADVERTENTLY LANDED WHEELS UP AT JEFFERSON COUNTY AIRPORT, PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. PILOT WAS COUNSELED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
