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 the afternoon of 24 may, 2005, at approximately 1520 local time, the pilot commenced a VFR approach to runway 17 at Jennings municipal airport in Jennings, LA. According to the statement submitted by the pilot, his approach was initiated from a right base entry after listening on the CTAF frequency and looking for traffic in all four quadrants. The remainder of the approach was uneventful until the landing flare. At that moment, as the Cessna 150 was touching down, the G-164D (ag cat) aircraft landed on top and from that moment on, the two aircraft were joined together as they veered off the left side of the runway and came to a stop.
