CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Coast Guard says an overnight search yielded no sign of a Navy plane and two pilots who failed to return from a flight.

Petty Officer Randy Hale told The Associated Press early Thursday that search aircraft were out all night and "we haven't been able to find anything as of yet."

The search began Wednesday afternoon for the crew of a Navy T-34 training aircraft after an air traffic controller at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Texas lost contact with the pair.

The single-engine trainer's last known location was near San Jose Island, east of Rockport and 2 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Stormy weather stalls search for Navy plane, 2 pilots, missing since Wednesday off Texas coast

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Stormy weather has forced the Coast Guard to suspend its search for two missing Navy pilots and their plane along the central Texas coast.

Petty Officer 1st Class Nayo Gallegos said crews stopped their search around 8 p.m. Thursday because of limited visibility. The search is expected to resume Friday morning.

My prayers for the Navy flyers that they come home safe and sound.

Also my prayers for my fellow Coast Guardsmen keep them safe and give them sharp eyes to find these Flyers fast!

We will bring them back Navy safe and sound if God wills it so, count on it.

You have been there for us many a time Navy, we are with you in prayer and spirit.

Warm water with tons of boating traffic through that area of the Gulf greatly helps their chances, let's hope for the best!
