An IAI Westwind air ambulance (Lifeguard flight N475AT) diverted to Exuma, Bahamas, on 24 May 2006 after generator trouble and lost radio contact before it could be given landing instructions. It landed in the dark on a runway whose lights were not on, the landing gear sheared off, and the aircraft ended up in brush beyond the runway. The occupants got out with minor injuries.
