## 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 LAX93LA250](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX93LA250), Jun 12, 1993: Balloon Works Firefly 7 (N71145), Salida, CA, minor damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during the attempted landing. A factor in the accident was the unfavorable wind conditions for the balloon landing.
