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.

After landing and while taxiing to park at Marble Airstrip, an unimproved field in Marble, CO., Cessna 180B experienced a loss of directional control due to a wind gust. This resulted in the aircraft exiting the taxi area into some willows. The aircraft sustained damage to the left main landing gear, as well as a propeller stoppage/slowage due to contact with tree(s).
