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.

Pilot landed at a private strip (rock Point) in Sasakwa, OK when a gust of wind lifted the right wing and caused the aircraft to veer left off the runway and run into a brush field causing damage to the wings, horizontal stab, and prop strike.
