## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SATURDAY JULY 6, 2002 EASTERN REGION OPS CENTER CALLED TO REPORT THAT A BANNER HAD BEEN DROPPED IN THE STREET IN MARLBORO, NJ. THE MARLBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE BANNER. EYEWITNESSES WERE NOT ABLE TO GET AN N NUMBER FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE MARLBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED BY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AERIAL ADVERTISING AGENCY OF MANVILLE, NJ TO INFORM THEM THAT THE BANNER BELONGED TO THEM. SPEAKING WITH THE INDIVIDUAL FROM AERIAL ADVERTISING, HE HAD STATED THAT A KITE STRING HAD CUT THE LEAD POLE CAUSING THE BANNER TO DISENGAGE FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE AIRCRAFT HAD RETURNED SAFELY TO CENTRAL JERSEY AIRPORT IN MANNVILLE, NJ. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
