Say a prayer!
PORT LAVACA - The Navy and Coast Guard are searching the Gulf of Mexico for the crew of a T-34 Trainer that went down off the coast of Port Lavaca.
The search area is 12 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, somwhere between Port Lavaca and Rockport. According to the FAA, the aircraft dropped off the radar around 3:30 p.m. this afternoon. The single engine trainer has a seat for an instructor and a student pilot. The Coast Guard has sent out a helicopter, jet and three boats to search for the missing crewmembers.
More information to be posted as soon as it becomes available. |

Prayers sent. On the news they said seas were currently running 4+ feet. That makes it tough to find someone, but they are still looking.
I sure hope they are bobbing around out there somewhere. |

| With all the technology we have in the world today I can't believe the search for the plane and its pilots has taken this long. Ridiculous. This is a Navy training aircraft. OUR NAVY. What a shame. |
