## 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 DEN00LA150](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN00LA150), Aug 12, 2000: Aerostar S-66A (N5268L), Edwards, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: Lack of crew coordination when the ground crew failed to hold the balloon in position following landing as the pilot expected them to do. A factor was power lines.
