The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Student pilot receiving his second lesson in a ski equipped PA-18 taxied the aircraft to the hold line. CFI in the rear seat did not have a clear view forward due to aircraft design and large student. At the hold line the pic/flight instructor assumed control of the aircraft and after receiving takeoff clearance taxied into the "hold here" sign. Both propeller blades struck the sign and the aircraft stopped when the landing gear bungee contacted the sign. No other damage was noted.
