## Narrative

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

(-5)WHILE TAXIING FROM THE WEST RAMP AT MT COMFORT, INDIANA (MQJ), THE PILOT OF A P-51-D INADVENTLY ALLOWED THE RIGHT WING TIP TO STRIKE THE NOSE COWL OF A SUKHOI MODEL 26 THAT WAS PARKED ALONG THE TAXI WAY.  DAMAGE TO BOTH AIRCRAFT WAS MINOR AND NO INJURIES RESULTING FROM THE INCIDENT.

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.
