## 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 ERA20CA116](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA20CA116), Mar 1, 2020: Let L 23 Super Blanik (N296BA), Huntsville, AL, substantial damage.
