## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS DISPATCHED ON AN AIR AMBULANCE FLIGHT. CO-PILOT BEGAN TAXI AND USED EXCESSIVE THRUST TO TAXI OVER GROUND POWER CORD THAT RUNS TO THE AIR AMBULANCE HELICOPTER PARKED NEXT TO THE LEARJET. JET BLAST CAUSED TWO CESSNA 172 AIRCRAFT TO BE BLOWN INTO EACH OTHER CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO BOTH CESSNA 172S. THE CESSNA 172 AIRCRAFT WERE PARKED WITH THEIR TAILS TOWARDS THE LEARJET, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO FBO POLICY AND THE FBO AGREEMENT WITH THE AIR AMBULANCE OPERATOR.

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.
