The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)On 4/15/2000 N2744D a CE-170-B had landed on a snow packed runway and was sitting at the end of the runway preparing to taxi when the aircraft sank to the left. The pilot immediately shut off the engine and exited the aircraft. The aircraft sank until the left wing was touching the snow. It was a warm spring day and the pilot had stopped the aircraft on top of the willows that had been packed down by a snowmachine leaving a hole under the willows. The day after the plane sank in the snow the pilot noticed that the covering on the right wing tank was wrinkled. The pilot was counseled on operating an aircraft on wheels late on the spring on snow packed runways.
