## 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 IAD98LA074](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD98LA074), Jul 1, 1998: American Blimp ABC-A-60 (N760AB), Lock Haven, PA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's encounter with unforecasted downdrafts.
