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) After landing on rwy 36L, the SB-2C held short on taxiway juliet until cleared to taxi across rwy 36R. The pilot statement acknowledges concerns about an aircraft that was holding for takeoff on rwy 36R and the previous arrival that also exited onto juliet but was now unseen until just prior to impact. The Cessna had not moved and was struck as the SB-2C braked to a halt. The ascending propeller blade damaged the right elevator and horizontal stabilizer.
