He has stated that while behind the "follow me" van, he attempted to make a right turn when a gust of wind pushed his tail right and the nose left. He applied right brake to compensate, to no avail, due to right brake failure. The aircraft made a left turn into a parked Beech B58, baron, N984BC, which was tied down. Before the Cessna could come to a full stop, the prop on the aircraft chopped through the left wing on the baron, causing substantial damage. The prop blades on the left engine of the baron tore a hole in the bottom left wing of the Cessna before substantially damaging the left wing aileron of the 172. The left wing of the 172 came to rest on top of the baron's fuselage and the top engine cowl of the 172 lodged under the left wing of the baron. The engines on both aircraft substained prop strikes.
