## 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 IAD03MA049](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD03MA049), Apr 26, 2003: Sino-Swearingen SJ30-2 (N138BF), Loma Alta, TX, destroyed, 1 fatal.
