From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) On takeoff the aircraft pulled to the right even with full opposite control. As the right wing lifted the right main wheel off the ground the aircraft swerved hard to the left. During this swerve, the right wing impacted a parked aircraft tied down in the parking area of the airport. Damage to the parked aircraft was minor and there was no damage to the aircraft that was taking off. The aircraft continued to boise airport and landed. Upon touchdown at boise, the aircraft swerved to the right. The right wheel break had frozen the wheel preventing it from turning.
