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.

With a load of fertilizer, on take off roll after 100 yards the right main landing gear tire blew out. The right main wheel dug into the ground causing the tail to rise enough for the propeller to contact the ground. When the tail came back down the tail wheel spring was bent.
