A PIPER PA-34-200T, N33086 & A PIPER AEROSTAR 600, N8208T, WERE INVOLVED IN AN ON-GROUND COLLISION AT NIGHT.

ACCORDING TO THE PA-34 PLT, HE HAD BEEN CLEARED TO TAXI TO RWY 1 VIA TAXIWAYS DELTA, FOXTROT & ECHO & WAS TO HOLD SHORT OF PAPA. AT APRX 200 FT SHORT OF PAPA, THE PA-34 PLT BEGAN SLOWING TO STOP, BUT DID NOT SEE THE AEROSTAR, WHICH WAS HOLDING SHORT OF PAPA, UNTIL JUST BEFORE THE COLLISION. THE PA-34 RECEIVED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE, BUT THE AEROSTAR WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. THE PA-34 PLT CHARACTERIZED HIS VISIBILITY AS POOR DUE TO A COMBINATION OF RAIN CONDITIONS & POOR FRONTAL LIGHTING CAPABILITY OF HIS ACFT.
