## NTSB investigations on N5HB (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CHI07CA255](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI07CA255), Aug 3, 2007: Buttles SNS-7 (N5HB), Lapeer, MI, destroyed. Probable cause: The fuel starvation for an undetermined reason, and the unsuitable terrain encountered during the forced landing. The trees were a factor.
