The FAA is investigating a ground collision at New York City-area Long Island MacArthur Airport (KISP), between a taxiing Pilatus PC-12 and a Hawker 1000 parked on the Hawthorne Global Aviation Services ramp.

According to the FAA, the single-engine turboprop, which is registered to AGF Capital, struck the parked Hawker 1000 around 8:20 a.m. on Wednesday. A video of the incident posted online shows the PC-12 taxiing—at a normal taxi pace—directly toward the nose of the jet before suddenly speeding up, prompting the ramp marshaller to dodge out of the way before the turboprop single struck the Hawker's starboard wing. The collision caused the PC-12 to spin around behind the Hawker, ending up between it and a large snowbank.
