Navy divers on Friday recovered the bodies of three military aviators who died last month in a crash during a training mission over the Gulf of Mexico.

A flight instructor and two student aviators were aboard the VT-31 T-44A Beechcraft twin-engine turboprop when it disappeared from radar screens March 25.
