## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 29, 2015, THE PILOT OF A CESSNA 170 LANDED HIS AIRCRAFT AT DURANGO, CO. AIRPORT AND TAXIED OFF THE RUNWAY.  A CRJ-700 WAS HOLDING SHORT ON THE TAXIWAY IN FRONT OF THE CESSNA 170.     THE PILOT OF THE CESSNA COULD NOT TAXI PAST THE CRJ SO HE RADIOED AND ASKED THE REGIONAL JET IF THEY COULD PULL FORWARD SO HE COULD GET PAST.  THE CRJ 700 DID PULL FORWARD AND THE CESSNA PILOT TOLD THE CRJ CREW OVER THE RADIO THAT HE COULD NOW GET PAST.  WHEN THE PILOT OF THE CESSNA STARTED TO TAXI PAST THE CRJ-700 PULLED ONTO THE RUNWAY AND THE CE170 WAS BLOWN OVER BY THE JET BLAST.  THE CESSNA RECEIVED SUSTANTIAL DAMAGE ON BOTH WINGS, NOSE, AND PROPELLER.

PILOT HAD A CURRENT FLIGHT REVIEW AND MEDICAL AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
