## NTSB investigations (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 CHI94LA225](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA225), Jul 8, 1994: Beech K35 (N153C), Grand Rapids, MI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's improper fuel tank selection resulting in fuel starvation.
