The US Navy is continuing the search for an EC-2 Hawkeye crewmember who bailed out before the surveillance plane went down in the north Arabian Sea on Wednesday.

Three other crewmembers aboard the plane were rescued within minutes of the crash, the Navy said in a news release Friday. All three are in good condition, the release said.

The EC-2 Hawkeye, embarked onboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, went down about five miles from the carrier as it was returning to the ship Wednesday afternoon. The plane experienced mechanical malfunctions forcing the crew to bail out, the Navy said.

The Navy is employing several other ships and aircraft in the search for the missing crewmember.
