## 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 FTW02LA083](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA083), Feb 21, 2002: North American T28C (N71546), Fredericksburg, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of the pilot to refuel the airplane resulting in fuel exhaustion. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
