Analysis
The plt of a north American T-6G, N1364J, had just landed & was taxiing down a parallel taxiway to the apch end of the rwy to takeoff again. At about the same time, a Cessna 150K, N6402G, had been stopped at the intersection of the parallel taxiway & another adjoining taxiway. The Cessna 150 had benn stopped so that the instructor (CFI) could get out of the acft & the student could proceed with his 3rd supervised solo. As the T-6 approached the intersection where the Cessna was parked, the T-6 plt made a shallow s-turn to the left, the s-turned back to the right. At that time, the left wing of the T-6 impacted the empennage of the Cessna from the left rear. The CFI had just deplaned & was standing on the ground next to the Cessna. He was knocked off balance & grabbed the strut to keep from falling toward the propeller. He then fell under the Cessna & injured his knee. None of the plts were aware that the collision was about to occur.
