## 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 LAX95LA118](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA118), Feb 23, 1995: Cessna A-188B (N731CZ), Elmira, CA, substantial damage.
