## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING ON 16R AND TAXING NORTH ON TWY A, THE PILOTS CONTACTED MAGUIRE FBO AND WERE ADVISED TO TAXI TO MAGUIRE VIA TWY  A1 THEN TO TWY A2.  DURING THE TAXI TO MAGUIRE FBO ON TWY A1, THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING STRUCK A CHEVROLET ASTRO VAN PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE TAXI WAY. LINE SERVICE FROM MAGUIRE FBO STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT FROM TAXING ANY FURTHER ON TWY A1.  MAGUIRE LINE SERVICE THEN TOWED THE AIRCRAFT OFF OF TWY A1 AND PROCEDED TO MAGUIRE FBO VIA TWY A AND TWY A2. THE WING APPEARED TO HAVE HIT THE TOP AFT CORNER OF THE VAN AND THEN SCRAPED  ACROSS THE TOP OF IT, DAMAGING THE VAN AND THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
