## Narrative

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

(-23)  AFTER LANDING AT THE CULPEPER AIRPORT (CJR) THE PILOT WAS TAXING TO THE RAMP AND STRUCK A PLASTIC BARREL THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TAXI WAY INTO THE PARKING AREA.  THIS AREA WAS CLOSED DUE TO PREPARATION FOR AN AIRSHOW.  THE PILOT AND THE PASSENGER STATED THEY DID NOT SEE THE BARREL.  THE WOODEN PROP WAS DAMAGED ON ONE END.  THERE WAS NO INJURIES.  WHEN THE PILOT WAS ASKED TO SHOW HIS MEDICAL HE DID NOT HAVE IT WITH HIM.  LATER THAT DAY AT 16:45 THE PILOT PRESENTED HIS MEDICAL FOR REVIEW.

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.
