Was that a result of a midair collision? Thats an immense loss of vertical stab there!

AAIR shows it as a landing accident ground collision (with an odd double listing):

Any photos of 42-6154 there? I don't think you had H 62 on your list before now, correct?

not a strange double listing - 42-5722 had landed (and ground looped) and 42-6154 which was right behind in the pattern landed long clipping the tail of 722 with his right wing tip.

From an later accident we know that 42-6154 was Hobbs 28

and now the rest of the story - unless there was a third aircraft, it also looks like 42-5722 also clipped the embankment while on approach leaving the aircraft stuck on the runway where it was hit by 42-6154.

What are the action codes? Are they abbreviations for the type of accident or for what will be done afterwards?
