THE PILOT STATED, HE STARTED AIRCRAFT, A BUZZER NOISE SOUNDED IN THE COCKPIT, AND WENT AWAY.  HE TAXIED TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY, DID AN ENGINE RUN-UP, LINED UP WITH THE CENTER LINE OF THE RUNWAY.  WHEN HE GAVE THE AIRPLANE FULL POWER IT VEERED TO THE LEFT OF THE CENTER LINE, HE APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER.  AT THIS TIME, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, AND AIRCRAFT SKIDDED FORWARD.

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.
