(-23) ON JUNE 10, 2004, AT APPROXIMATELY 1258 PDT, A BEECHCRAFT BONANZA, N3417B WAS ENROUTE FROM WATSONVILLE AIRPORT (WVI) TO GRASS VALLEY AIRPORT (O17).

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
