Friday, two teenagers who were canoeing at the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area discovered a plane that crashed in 1984.

The discovery was made by John Ware, 18, and Greg Daly, 16, both of Fritch, who were canoeing on Lake Meredith.

According to the Huston Chronicle, authorities have found in the plane two men. One of them was the pilot and the other one was the passenger.
The plane was a small, two-seat Beech 77.

Steven Lampe, the pilot, and Larry Lucas, the passenger, died in 1984 when the plane crashed.  Two days after the plane crashed, a wheel from the plane and a jacket were found floating on the water. Search crews have looked for the plane for 6 days, but with no results.

National Park Service officials said the discovery from Lake Meredith was indeed the plane that crashed 24 years ago.

According to KFDA, the plane left from Tradwinds Airport but never came back.

The personnel from the park have closed the area so that the wreckage could be investigated.

Lake Meredith is about 20 miles north of Amarillo.

Spokeswoman Rozanna Pfeiffer said that the authorities have informed the families of the two men. They can  finally know for sure what happened.
