## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS IN CLOSE FORMATION TAXI DURING AIR SHOW PERFORMANCE. N305NL RADIOED TO STOP TAXI WHICH WAS NOT HEARD BY N304NL IN TRAIL.  N304NL COULD NOT SEE THAT N305NL HAD STOPPED AND PROCEEDED TO CONTACT N305NL FROM THE REAR.  FORMATION TAXI PROCEDURES ARE BEING MODIFIED BY THE TEAM.

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.
