EAST TROY The U.S. Navy has confirmed that the pilot found after his plane disappeared off the Texas coast on Wednesday is that of 30-year-old Lt. Bret Travis Miller of East Troy.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports that Miller's body was recovered Friday when a floating oil rig's crew reported something in the water.
The U.S. Coast Guard suspended the search Sunday night for a second Navy pilot, 29-year-old Lt. John Joseph Houston of Houston.
The two instructors were flying the Navy T-34C Turbomentor plane on a routine training flight when it disappeared. The Coast Guard estimated that it searched 131 hours and 20,900 square miles. It said it will continue trying to locate the plane.
