They will be taking with them the bodies of a mother and her baby, who were killed in the incident.
Military officials say the plane had been mistaken for a drug-running aircraft.
The plane's pilot, Kevin Donaldson also survived, but he was hit by a bullet in the leg, which his son said severed major arteries. He said his son was in good spirits, but was losing the feeling in his right foot, and had lost five to six quarts of blood. On Saturday a State Department official said that a U.S. surveillance plane gave the Peruvian military location data for a plane that turned out to be a missionary aircraft. The Peruvian Air Force then shot the plane down, killing two of the five Americans on board. He said that the Peruvian authorities are responsible for identifying the aircraft and deciding on any action but added that, pending the outcome of an investigation, the U.S. has suspended drug interception flights in the area.
