The Coast Guard has resumed its search for two missing Navy pilots and their plane along the central Texas coast.

The search had to be suspended Thursday night because of stormy weather.

Petty Officer Charles Reaves says a plane and a helicopter resumed the search shortly after 7:30 a.m. Friday.

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi lost contact with the Navy T-34 training plane Wednesday afternoon. The single-engine plane's last known location was near San Jose Island, east of Rockport and 2 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Names of the pilots have not been released.
