## Other investigations on N3050J (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 FTW04CA122](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW04CA122), May 3, 2004: Cessna 150E (N3050J), Goldthwaite, TX, destroyed. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate in-flight planning and decision not to refuel, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. A contributing factor was the dark night conditions.
- [NTSB OAK68D0044](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/OAK68D0044), Jun 23, 1967: Cessna 150 (N3050J), San Jose, CA, substantial damage
