ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Four crewmen of a Navy patrol plane that ditched last night with five aboard were found today in Pamlico Sound about 75 miles south of here. One was in a life raft and three on a navigation light.
A Navy spokesman said there was no word on a Marine Corps jet with two aboard that disappeared last night while searching for the Navy plane.
The Marines aboard the two-place F3D Skynight all-weather fighter jet from the Cherry Point Marine Air Base were identified as 2nd Lt. Roy O. Wilkins, 23, the pilot, of Indio, Calif.; and M. Sgt. Gerald A. Moreau, 30, of Havelock, N.C., the radar operator.
