## 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 CEN18LA357](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN18LA357), Aug 29, 2018: Grumman G164 (N956X), Opelousas, LA, substantial damage.
