The pilot killed was shot but Cuban forces on the ground I believe, and it was not really a priority of the administration to find out where the body was, or what became of it. The story was on the discovery channel a while back, when his family recieved his body back from the Cubans for burial in Alabama. The other Alabama AIr Guard A-26 pilot, Col. Joseph Shannon, is alive and well in Alabama, and attends Reno every year. He is a true American warrior in the classic sense, and is very quiet about his achievements. And he still flies occasionally!
