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: while repositioning the aircraft from the east side of the airport (lbb) to the west side, the pilot allowed the aircraft to run over a parked fuel truck. Both the left and the right propellers struck the vehicle causing substantial damage to both propellers. The belly skin just below the cockpit was punctured, damaging an area approximately 20" by 15". No injuries reported. I have contacted the chdo.
