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 FTW01LA161](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA161), Jul 10, 2001: Cessna 172 (N1581V), Kingston, OK, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll, which required his evasive maneuver and resulted in a stall.
