National Transportation Safety Board

The National Transportation Safety Board appears in Omission accomplished: why the Iran-war cycle spins on as a later institution in Wally Funk’s aviation career. The episode says Funk investigated air crashes for the NTSB, sometimes reaching difficult crash sites by mule or by abseiling.

The page is source-scoped: the episode uses the NTSB to show that Funk’s blocked astronaut path did not end her technical and operational aviation work.
