## 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 CEN17LA001](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN17LA001), Oct 1, 2016: Drake Kitfox Speedster (N157D), Jennings, LA, substantial damage.
