## 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 ERA09CA045](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA09CA045), Nov 9, 2008: Randall Amanda Rotorway (N103DE), Middletown, DE, substantial damage.
