Military divers located some wreckage of a U.S. Air Force jet that crashed off the Honduran coast but found no signs of the two missing crewmen, the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, said. In Washington, the Pentagon identified the crewmen as Capt. Ronald B. Schatz, 34, of New Hope, Pa., and Capt. Donald F. Benton Jr., 35, of Aberdeen, N.J. The plane, an OA-37 bomber, crashed Thursday on a training mission near Honduras’ northeast coast, apparently due to mechanical failure, the embassy said. The bomber was on a training mission.
