The highway patrol says the aircraft apparently lost power and
crashed about 300 feet east of the runway.
Authorities say the pilot was taken to a hospital in Guymon
after Tuesday’s crash but was later transferred to a hospital in
Amarillo, Texas. The highway patrol says the pilot suffered arm and
internal injuries.
The passenger was taken to Amarillo with leg and internal

4-seat, low-wing Mooney had just left the airport in Hooker when it
crashed in a field northeast of Guymon about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday.
