Plane crash!

A near tragedy today when one of the planes in our group crashed on take-off from Fairbanks.  Both escaped serious injury but were hospitalized.  James and I waited in Fairbanks until we were sure everyone was OK then left for Homer on an IFR flight plan.  The flight took us 3 hours.  Good weather until we reached Homer which was under a low cloud cover.  Started an instrument approach but broke out on final.
