## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING AERIAL APPLICATION OF ECONOMIC POISONS, PILOT DID NOT SEE OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL WIRES AT END OF FIELD. HIT WIRES WITH TAIL WHEEL, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT AND WIRES.

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.
