[Editor’s Note: This tip came in from Connecticut Wing in mid-May, but we somehow overlooked it. To be fair, this was an incident, not an accident and there were no injuries. Unconfirmed rumors suggest this happened when the aircraft was turning into a parking slot. Thank you for your contribution.]
