CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A body has been recovered from the remains of a Navy training aircraft that went down in the Gulf of Mexico near Matagorda Island three weeks ago.
Navy divers recovered the body from the T-34C Turbomentor propeller-driven aircraft on Wednesday.
Lt. Brett Dawson is a spokesman for the Chief of Navy Training at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, where the aircraft had been based. He says the Navy won’t confirm the body is that of Lt. John Joseph Houston of Houston until an autopsy has been performed.
However, the body of the other flier aboard the aircraft when it went down, 30-year-old Lt. Bret Travis Miller of East Troy, Wisc., was found Oct. 30 about 11 miles north of Port Aransas. Both had been missing since the Navy lost contact with the aircraft on Oct. 28.
