CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A Navy T-34 plane with two people aboard has gone missing off the Texas gulf coast.
U.S. Coast Guard officials said an air traffic controller at Corpus Christi's naval air station lost contact with the crew about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday. The single-engine, propeller-driven trainer aircraft was last reported near Port Lavaca.
The Coast Guard has dispatched a helicopter, jet and boats to search for the plane.
Port Lavaca is about 75 miles northeast of Corpus Christi.
