## NTSB investigations (2)

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 LAX94LA379](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA379), Sep 26, 1994: Rockwell S2R (N8874Q), Visalia, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot failed to maintain an adequate visual lookout and collided with power lines which resulted in an in-flight loss of control and subsequent collision with terrain.
- [NTSB LAX83LA378](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX83LA378), Aug 4, 1983: Rockwell S2R (N8874Q), Cantua Creek, CA, substantial damage
