The pilot attempted to avoid a collision with the airplane being pushed by turning his airplane, but his airplane lost speed due to the turn and was unable to lift off. The airplane then overran the runway and impacted a fence. The airplane sustained damage that included substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there was no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N80740](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N80740), registered now, S/N 143, built 1946 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: GLOBE GC-1B - Registry model: [Globe GC-1B](https://openairdocs.org/model/globe-gc-1b) (registry code 9230104) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental C125 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-c125-series) (registry code 17011, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 143 - Year built: 1946 - Airframe hours: 3246 - Engines: Continental O-300-D 145 hp reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, July 3, 2024 - Flight plan: VFR - Airport: T47, Finney Field Airport, runway 18, 2,549 × 40 ft, grass/turf - Equipment: Handheld GPS, ADS-B ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
