N3510J

On April 22, 1999, approximately 1130 pacific daylight time, a Piper J-3, N48612, collided with a Cessna 150E, N3510J, while being taxied in from landing at Evergreen Airpark, Vancouver, Washington. The J-3, which was owned and operated by Paulson Aircraft, Inc., along with the 150, which was owned and operated by a private pilot, sustained substantial damage. Neither pilot was injured and there was no report of an ELT activation. The accident took place during visual meteorological conditions while both aircraft were operating under 14 CFR Part 91.

According to the J-3 pilot, while he was taxiing to parking after landing on the north/south runway, he passed through the run-up area for the east/west runway. While passing through the run-up area, the right wing of his aircraft impacted the wing and propeller of a Cessna 150 that was doing an engine run-up in preparation for departure. He said that he simply had not seen the aircraft and didn't know it was in the area until the two aircraft made contact.
