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.

This arriving aircraft attempted to taxi to parking down a taxi lane that was less than the width of its wingspan. Inadvertently struck another parked aircraft and then thrust reversers were deployed momentarily causing a lunge backward striking the same aircraft a second time.
