## Narrative

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

THE COMMERCIAL RATED NON PILOT WAS REPOSITIONING AIRCRAFT FROM MUSEUM HANGAR TO MUSEUM TERMINAL RAMP. AN AIRPORT GROUND VEHICLE JOINED THE AIRCRAFT TO LEAD TO THE RAMP. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED AN "S" TURN MANEUVER TO VIEW THE VEHICLE AND LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT STRIKING A STATIONARY FUEL TRUCK ADJACENT TO THE TAXIWAY.

THERE WAS NO FUEL SPILL FROM THE FUEL TRUCK.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
