## Other investigations on N735B (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 FTW99LA126](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW99LA126), Apr 29, 1999: Beech J35 (N735B), Bass, AR, substantial damage.
