## FAA reports on this event (1)

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

- [Incident 19791206046169I](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19791206046169I), Dec 6, 1979: Beech K35, Washington, DC, Minor damage. While taxiing behind jet, aircraft lifted by jet blast, hit wing tip. Ground control failed to clarify situation.

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.
