That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N955PT's record changes.
The flight crew of a business jet airplane had taxied to a runup area on the airport after their airplane had been over-fueled, as they needed to burn off the excess fuel before they could depart. The crew did not otherwise specifically advise air traffic control that they would be performing a high-power engine run for an extended duration. The exhaust of the business jet’s engines was directed toward a taxiway that passed behind the runup area. The flight instructor and student pilot onboard the accident airplane reported that, as they taxied toward the runup area and behind the business jet, their airplane was blown across the taxiway by the jet blast from the business jet, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane’s left wing when it contacted the ground.
