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) On 10-22-2003 airport was notamed closed to facilitate boring 10" test holes, on the centerline of runway 20, by shumaker engineering on behalf of the Ticonderoga. The bores were made, by privacy data omitted, at about 900' and 2000' from the end of the runway. At the expiration of the NOTAM the airport reopened although the hole marked B-1, located about 2000' from the end of the runway was left unfilled or underfilled. Upon landing, on 11-09-2003, the nosewheel of N8581S dropped into the hole marked B-1 and in doing so sustained damage to the nose gear, the forward fuselage and the propeller.
