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

THE AIRCRAFT WEATHERVANED INTO THE WIND AND STARTED A GROUND LOOP TO THE LEFT.  THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT FROM DEPARTING THE RUNWAY AND THE RIGHT WING TIP DRUG THE GROUND.  MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIES TO THE SOLE OCCUPANT.  PILOT STATED THE WIND WAS ABOUT 5 KNOTS OUT OF THE SOUTH.

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.
