CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The U.S. Coast Guard said searchers found the body of one pilot whose plane disappeared off the Texas coast.

The search continues for a second pilot who was aboard when the training plane went missing Wednesday.

The Coast Guard said in a news release the body was found Friday afternoon when a floating rig's crew reported something in the water.

The dead pilot was not identified, but the Navy said 29-year-old Lt. John Joseph Houston of Houston and 30-year-old Lt. Bret Travis Miller of East Troy, Wis., were on board.

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi lost contact with the Navy T-34C Turbomentor training plane Wednesday afternoon.
