THEREFORE, I MUST DEFER TO THE ACCIDENT STATEMENT WRITTEN BY MR. RICHARD PARKER PER NTSB ACCIDENT FORM ID#LAX-00-FA-122.

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.
