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

PILOT STATED ON LANDING AT ALICIA AIRPORT, HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS NOT SLOWING ENOUGH, SO HE ATTEMPTED A GO AROUND. THE GO-AROUND ATTEMPT WAS EXECUTED TOO LATE FOR ENGINE TO REGAIN POWER. THE PILOT ABORTED THE GO-AROUND AND WAS NOW TOO FAST TO STOP. HE APPLIED BOTH BRAKES AND REVERSE PROPELLER, CAUSING THE TAIL TO COME AROUND TO THE RIGHT.

LEFT WING ON THE LANDING AIRCRAFT CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE AIR TRACTOR'S PROPELLER. BOTH AIRCRAFT WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED.
