Incident Overview
A ground collision occurred at Memphis International Airport (MEM) between a Cessna 310R (registration N3844C) and a Beech E18S (registration N2069C). The Cessna had landed on Runway 36R, while the Beech was taxiing from the UPS ramp to the AMR Combs South ramp.
Sequence of Events
