Marine missing after fall from aircraft in North Carolina
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Military personnel and sheriff's deputies in eastern North Carolina are searching for a Marine who apparently fell from an aircraft.
Officials told local media outlets the Marine fell from an Osprey aircraft during a training mission around 7 p.m. Monday near White Lake. It wasn't immediately clear how the Marine fell from the aircraft, which can take off like a helicopter and fly like an airplane.
The Marine's name hasn't been released. The aircraft was based a Marine Corps Air Station New River.
