Plaintiff insurer filed declaratory judgment action as to duty to defend in underlying negligence suit against pilot training school for death of company pilot and two others in plane crash. Court properly found no duty to defend, having found that policy coverage territory was limited by endorsement, and injuries did not arise from ownership, maintenance, or use of training center premises. Plane crash was not an "inherent risk" of training center's business, as insurer did not insure training center's business operations. (QUINN and NEVILLE, concurring.)
