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) The airplane bounced on landing at bob Adams field (sbs) runway 32 and on the second touchdown the airplane was misaligned with the runway in a counter clockwise position causing the airplane to ground loop counter clockwise down the runway. The airplane came to a stop headed 180 degrees from the original runway alignment and on the left side of the runway. The right main gear partially collapsed inboard during the ground loop. The airplane was secured and normal egress by the pilot.
