Analysis
The plt of the Grumman G-164A, N952X, reported that after the acft was loaded & fueled, he started to taxi northbound on a taxiway from the ramp to the rwy. At about the same time, a student plt in a Cessna 152, N67449, had landed on the rwy & turned southbound onto the taxiway. The student saw the G-164 & stopped on the right side of the rwy. However, the pilot of the G-164A did not see the Cessna & continued northbound. Subsequently, the G-164A collided with the Cessna, damaging the left wing of each acft. There was no UNICOM transmission from either plt.
