## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING IN FROM RUNWAY 16L AND A STRONG GUST OF WIND (APPROX. 70 KTS) CARRYING A HARD OBJECT IMPACTED THE CO-PILOT SIDE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A CRACK. NO OTHER AIRCRAFT OR APPARENT REASON FOR THE AIRBORNE OBJECT COULD BE DETERMINED.

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.
