## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19830721038039A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19830721038039A), Jul 21, 1983: Scwzer G164B, Hollandale, MS, Substantial damage. Ag aircraft flipped over on the landing roll when the left main tire ruptured. Tire was worn excessively.

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.
