After taking off from an airport in Pennsylvania, the airplane flew an easterly heading for 172 nautical miles until radar contact was lost over the Atlantic Ocean. A family member reported the airplane missing the following morning, and a Federal Aviation Administration Alert Notice (ALNOT) was issued at that time. A search was conducted by the Civil Air Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard, but the airplane was not located. At the time of this writing, the location of the airplane and the condition of the pilot are not known.
