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)I was doing an IFR plan from lex to dvk. I was taxing to runway 22, and the wind was 310 at 07. An asa regional jet was holding short at 22 on taxiway a. tower advised me if I took taxiway A-5 1 would be number one for takeoff. As I turned to take taxiway A-5 the right wing of the C-172R lifted up and the aircraft turned 90 degrees to the left on the left main tire and nose wheel. I asked tower if I could pull off on runway 26/A-5 to check for damage. After determining a prop strike had occurred, I advised ground that I need to taxi back to ramp.
