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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) N49108, a CE152, was taxiing to parking after landing. As he taxied behind SW180, a B-737, that jet was cleared for take-off. The jet blast blew the Cessna forward striking the prop, collapsing the nose gear, and denting the right wing.
