Task Force "Bronco", the unit supervising the ongoing operations to locate the two missing pilots and retrieval of the OV-10 "Bronco" attack plane, on Friday announced that the remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) brought in to help is still to make any sighting of the missing plane's crew and airframe.
This is the result of the ROV's first search mission on Thursday.
Search for the missing pilots and the plane have been focused in an area some five nautical miles from Puerto Princesa City , Palawan .
The ROV had been brought to the area this week to help look for the OV-10 main frame and pilots Major Jonathan Ybanez and 1st Lt. Abner Trust Nacion.
Earlier, Coast Guard Palawan commander Commodore Enrico Evangelista said the ROV will be used to determine if an object earlier detected by sonar equipment off Palawan was the wreckage of the OV-10.
He said that once the ROV shows the object underwater is indeed the OV-10's wreckage, the Coast Guard's Special Operation Group divers will come in.
The plane was on a night proficiency flight when it crashed off Palawan last June 23.
