Navy identifies 2 pilots missing off Texas Coast
McAllen — The U.S. Navy has identified two instructor pilots missing since their plane disappeared Wednesday off the Texas coast.
The Navy says 29-year-old Lt. John Joseph Houston of Houston and 30-year-old Lt. Bret Travis Miller of East Troy, Wis., were both instructors with Training Squadron 28 at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.
Rescuers resumed the search Friday morning for the pilots and their trainer aircraft not heard from since Wednesday. Coast Guard Petty Officer Charles Reaves told The Associated Press that a plane and a helicopter were part of the search effort that resumed shortly after 7:30 a.m. Friday.
Naval Air Station Corpus Christi lost contact with the Navy T-34C Turbomentor training plane Wednesday afternoon. The single-engine plane's last known location was near San Jose Island, east of Rockport and 2 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
