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) Ground loop reported during landing at Ashtabula airport during airshow/fly in. The aircraft landed at uncontrolled field after a large warbird had landed. Turbulence/crosswind may have been factor. A T-6 flown by one of the fsdo's dpe's who was immediately behind the aircraft involved, stated the landing approach/speed appeared to be "right on". The second T-6 pilot reported some difficulty with aircraft control during his landing. Damage minor and reported as slight kink in gear strut tube and cosmetic wing tip damage.
