(-23)ON 4-21-01, AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 LCL, CESSNA 180D, N8657X OPERATED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS TAXIING ACROSS RAMP AREA AFTER LANDING AT ROCKLAND AIRPORT (RKD), IN OWLS HEAD, ME AND FAILED TO SEE A CEESNA 150,N8451M PARKED IN AN APPROVED PARKING SPOT.

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.
