## Narrative

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

(-23)NWAA AIRCRAFT N304US WAS HOLDING SHORT OF RUNWAY 14R-32L AT TAXIWAY TNAGO 10 WHEN A DOBBS FOOD SERVICE VAN STRUCK THE AIRCRAFT ON THE OUTBOARD LOWER LEADING EDGE OF THE #2 ENGINE NOSE COWL AND THE RIGHT OUTBOARD FAN COWL. THE SERVICE VAN DRIVER WAS ISSURED A CITATION FOR FAILING TO YIELD TO AN AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE NWAA HANGER FACILITY.

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.
