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.

Pilot of aircraft #1 failed to hold short of B3 intersection as instructed to give way to aircraft #2. Instead, pilot #1 stopped in the middle of the intersection and noticed aircraft #2 (tail wheel) approaching. Aircraft #1 remained in the middle of the intersection and did not move or communicate on radio to alert ATC as to status. ATC did not appear to see what was occuring as neither pilot was given further instruction. Pilot of aircraft #2 was unable to see aircraft #1 and taxied into the left wing of #1. Primary damage caused to aircraft #1 was to the left wingtip and aileron. Aircraft #2 had damage to prop, spinner and cowling. No structural or substantial damage noted.
