## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS SHIP NO. 3 OF A FOUR SHIP FORMATION FLIGHT. HE WAS CLEARED FOR AND HAD COMPLETED HIS LANDING ON 27R AT GILLESPIE AIRPORT. HE MAINTAINED VISUAL CONTACT WITH SHIPS ONE AND TWO DURING HIS LANDING ROLLOUT. HE REMAINED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND WAS WAITING FOR TEAMMATE SHIP FOUR TO CLEAR HIM TO CROSS OVER, THAT IS OUT OF THE LANE, VIA A RADIO CALL. AFTER HE SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 MPH HE WAS STRUCK IN THE LEFT HORIZONTAL STAB AND RUDDER BY THE PROPELLER OF SHIP NO. 4. HE NEVER SAW THE APPROACHING AIRCRAFT COMING FROM BEHIND. HE TAXIED HIS AIRCRAFT CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY UNDER CONTROL.
