## Other investigations on N61134 (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 CHI03LA281](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI03LA281), Aug 23, 2003: Cessna 150J (N61134), Fennimore, WI, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power in cruise flight due to carburetor icing. A factor was the unsuitable terrain the pilot encountered during his forced landing.
