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.

The airplane exited the right side of the airstrip and came to rest in a canal adjacent to the runway. The aircraft sustained minor damage limited to the tailwheel and left wing, left aileron, and left flap.
