## 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 CHI95LA133](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI95LA133), Apr 23, 1995: Piper J-3 (N26991), Elk Creek, WI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the trees. Factors in the accident include the trees, the tailwind condition, and the pilot's lack of proper certification.
- [NTSB CHI87LA118](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI87LA118), Apr 26, 1987: Piper J3C (N6AJ), Midland, MI, substantial damage
