## Narrative

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

(-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.

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.
