## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ RADIOED TO A FRIEND ON THE GROUND AT DIXIE TO HAVE HIM CHECK THE SNOW CONDITIONS FOR LANDING.  THE FRIEND INDICATED THAT THE RUNWAY WAS PACKED AND SMOOTH.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ LANDED AND TURNED AROUND NEAR THE END OF THE RUNWAY LANDING TO THE NORTH WITH 3 TO 5 KNOTS OF TAIL WIND.  HE STATED HE WAS PARKED ON THE RUNWAY WHEN HIS FRIEND IN N4XK LANDED.  HE NOTICED THAT THE LANDING AIRCRAFT APPEARED TO BE FAST AND NOT SLOWING DOWN.  HE WAS NOT TOO CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIRCRAFT WAS TO HIS LEFT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  AT ONE TO TWO HUNDRED FEET FROM HIS AIRCAFT THE LANDING AIRCAFT VEERED LEFT DIRECTLY TOWARDS HIM AND HIS AIRCRAFT.  HE WAS ABLE TO BRACE FOR THE IMPACT AND THE LANDING AIRCAFT COLIDED WITH HIS AIRPLANE NEARLY HEAD ON.
