FAA investigates minor aircraft collision at Scholes International

According to airport officials, two aircraft collided on the taxiway at Scholes International Airport on Tuesday morning, cutting wings but sparing all occupants.

A second aircraft, a Waco YMF-5 operated by Scallywag Fly, was involved in the incident. 

Airport officials claimed the incident occurred on the ground while both aircraft were on a taxiway.

There were no reported injuries, and both planes had minimal damage.

After receiving notification, the Federal Aviation Administration is looking into the event. Authorities have not yet identified the potential culprit.

The probe is still in its early phases, according to Airport Director Mike Shahan.

Shahan told KGTX 7, "It is unclear who is at fault."

When contacted for a statement, Scallywag Air declined to comment.

Following the event, there was no major disruption to airport operations, and regular operations resumed quickly.
