## 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 LAX95LA123](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA123), Feb 27, 1995: Burkhart Grob G102 Astir CS (N57GE), Jean, NV, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's decision to fly in known adverse weather conditions which resulted in a wind shear encounter at low altitude during the takeoff initial climb.
