A Gulfstream air ambulance and six people are missing off the US coast

An Ontario-based air ambulance with six people aboard is missing off the US coast. Global News Canada reports that the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it issued a Search and Rescue Alert for a Gulfstream G-100 at around 1:20 a.m. Saturday.

The aircraft is described as an air ambulance, which means the people on board were already in transit for medical reasons. The alert is a search notice, not an outcome.
