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.

The prior evening a construction crew had placed construction barricades in the none movement area in front of the building and near to the taxi way which is attached. Due to the previous nights storm all but one of the flasher barricades had been blown over. One remained standing next to the taxi way. Because the T-6 is a tail wheel aircraft the pilot was executing "s" turns while taxing as the pilots attention was on avoiding the aircraft in front of him. He struck the barricade with the prop. Additionally the barricade also struck the underside of the wing causing a puncture in the aircraft skin. There were no NOTAMS, and there was nothing indicating the barricades location on the ATIS. The pilot did receive a weather briefing from grb.
