The aircraft made a mid crossing return to West Coast after problems became apparent with the fuel system.

The crew put out a mayday call suggesting they had no fuel left. The aircraft is floating in the ocean and the NTSB are mounting a recovery exercise to examine the wreckage. With empty fuel tanks, ferry tanks and airtight floats the aircraft should float until recovered.
