What you've given is not a complete sentence, but "involving" here is a reduced adjective clause.
"his drunken plane incident which involved their elder sons..."
When the adjective clause is reduced using a present participle, that participle then acts as an adjective modifying the noun- "incident" here.

Introduces a dependent adjectival clause, and is reduced since it omits that or which.
