The NTSB is continuing to investigate a December 15 crash involving a fixed-wing air ambulance King Air C90A off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, at 9:30 p.m. local time. As of late yesterday, emergency services had still not found the aircraft or its three crewmembers.

The 22-year-old King Air was flying at 5,000 feet before crashing shortly after the pilot reported to ATC that he was having problems with navigation equipment. The turboprop twin was en route to pick up a patient at Waimea on Hawaii's “Big Island.”
