Default US Navy T-34 crash. One pilot found, one missing.

Navy plane crashes in Lake Ponchartrain; 1 found, 1 missing

The Coast Guard says a small Navy plane crash-landed in Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans and that one pilot was rescued and the other is missing.

The T-34 plane crash landed Saturday evening. Air traffic controllers at Lake Front Airport notified the Coast Guard at about 6:40 p.m. to say the plane was no longer visible on radar.

Coast Guard crews on two small boats and an MH-65C rescue helicopter were sent to the scene.

As of 6AM Sunday morning, Coast Guard Petty Officer Thomas Blue said the search continued.

"We've still got the same crews, the same assets searching as they were last night. We're hoping that first light lets us find the survivor," said Blue.

"We're switching out crews right now, we've got another helo that's going up in the air," he said.

The Coast Guard is searching a 1-square-mile area a couple of miles north of Lakefront Airport. The agency says initial reports indicated both pilots were clinging to the aircraft before it sank.

The Coast Guard did not identify the pilots.

Are you thinking that they are related? Hope they find the other guy, but probably won't, not right away anyways.

It's a trainer, so not necessarily related or that uncommon for "incidents" to happen, but then again...

From wiki:
In 2004, due to a series of crashes involving in-flight structural failure during simulated combat flights, the entire US civilian fleet of T-34s was grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration. The grounding has since been eased to a series of restrictions on the permitted flight envelope.
And a few crashes since then, so who knows...too early to tell.

CNN Report- The Coast Guard was searching a 5- by 7-mile area, centered about a mile north of Lakefront Airport, the statement said. Two small boats from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries were also involved in the search.

At the time of the crash, the temperature was 50 degrees Fahrenheit with calm winds, the Coast Guard said. The water temperature was 52 degrees.

If he is still alive, I hope they find him quick.

(CNN) -- Search efforts turned into a recovery operation Monday for a U.S. Navy instructor pilot presumed dead after his plane crashed into Lake Pontchartrain, just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, during a routine training mission, a Navy spokesman said.

The student pilot on the plane was rescued about two hours after the crash Saturday night and taken to a hospital for mild hypothermia and moderate injuries, according to the Navy. He has since been released.

The missing instructor pilot has been identified as Lt. Clinton Wermers, 33, of Mitchell, South Dakota. The Navy did not identify the rescued student pilot. The two pilots were attached to Training Squadron 6 at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida.

Initial reports were that both the pilots were clinging to the aircraft before it sank, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, which is assisting in the search. Lt. Brett Dawson, a Navy air training spokesman, told CNN Monday that the wreckage of the plane has been located and a salvage unit will be working to recover it. The cause of the crash is under investigation, Dawson said.
