CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The wreckage of a naval training plane has been found nearly three weeks after it was first reported missing.
Navy spokesman Lt. Brett Dawson says officials won’t be able to determine if the body of 29-year-old Houston native Lt. John Joseph Houston was on the aircraft until diving conditions improve. Officials weren’t able to raise the wreckage from 40 feet of water off the Texas coast due to the conditions.
The T-34C training plane was found Sunday about 1.5 miles off the coast of Matagorda Island.
The plane went missing Oct. 28 during a routine training mission.
The body of 30-year-old pilot Lt. Bret Travis Miller was found Oct. 30, about 11 miles north of Port Aransas.
A call by The Associated Press Monday night to the Navy wasn’t immediately returned.
