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) After a 30 minute flight the pilot landed on runway 21 at the Heber airport. He turned off the runway at intersection A2. His speed was high and he could not stop before making contract with a hangar that was directly opposite the A2 intersection. He was unable to turn to the left or right because aircraft and people were in the way. The nose and left wing tip hit the hanger doors. Structural damage was sustained to the left wing at the aileron. It is recommended that he received a check ride in a sailplane.
