## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS MAKING A WHEEL LANDING AT MONTGOMERY FIELD (MYF) RUNWAY 28R WITH A QUARTERING TAILWIND OF APPROXIMATELY 10 KNOTS. AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO WEATHERVANE TO THE LEFT AND PILOT OVER CORRECTED WITH RIGHT RUDDER AND ADDED POWER. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK AN AIRPORT RUNWAY SIGN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY DAMAGING THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND THE AFT PORTION OF THE FUSELAGE CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRFRAME.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
