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.

(-23) On June 11, 2000 the pilot of an experimental-homebuilt aircraft was given an orientation flight to his pilot-rated passenger as she had nover flown an open cockpit airplane. During the second turn of a 720 degree manuever around a large barn and grain silo the aircraft crashed causing substantial damage to the aircraft and near fatal injuries to the passenger and severe injuries to the pilot. Apparently there was a miscommunication between the two pilots as to who was flying the aircraft.
