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 a flight from garden valley airport to boise, Idaho, the engine quit suddenly. The pilot made an engine out landing at a private airstrip on a ranch in horseshoe bend, Idaho. Upon examination of the aircraft and engine it was determined that the aircraft was out of fuel. Fuel was added to the fuel tanks and the aircraft departed and operated back to garden valley without incident. Pilot thinks someone drained fuel from his fuel tanks while it was tied down at the garden vally airport.
