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.

The pilot executed a normal approach and landing on rwy 30 at North Platte Nebraska (lbf). After landing and during rollout, after the tailwheel touched down, the pilot reported a severe "shimmy" in the tailwheel followed by a strong left turning tendency. This was uncorrectable and resulted in loss of control of the aircraft in a left turn. The resulting left turn caused the aircraft to roll laterally to the right causing the right wing and right horizontal stabilizer to impact the runway, causing substantial damage to the wing and stabilizer. The pilot reported the aircraft righted itself without external assistance. The pilot taxiied the aircraft to the left from the runway with resistance felt in the tailwheel. When completing the turn to exit the runway, the resistance seemed to release and the aircraft was taxxied to the hangar without further issue. The pilot and two passengers received no injuries.
