## Other investigations on N9508F (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 FTW01LA109](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA109), Apr 27, 2001: Hughes 269B (N9508F), Nacogdoches, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the wires during takeoff. Contributory factors were the sunglare and the unmarked wires.
