What happens to those on the plane?

That's pretty much what happens.
One has to assume Frank landed in Guam (he should have the fuel reserves to get there, and with the lower weight of the plane perhaps he might be able to land somewhere else.
I'd like to hear some funny stories about the reaction the public has on when the plane lands. Frank leaves with x amount of people, only four come off the plane.
How long was the plane on the Hydra island? a week, month, months?
Miles and Frank were not in the church so one can only assume they were not important to "jack's" story.
Kate was important as was Sawyer.
Kate and Claire could raise Aaron, if they could someone get around the entire, she died in the first place according the oceanic debreif.
All in all, I smell coverup by the government and another Darma landing on the island in the future.
When Ben and Hurley die we can only guess, but i'm sure you can expect Darma to be on the island in a few months, if not the first chance they get.
Richard was not at the church either, so he is not important to "Jack's" story either.
To explore this any furthure requires us to accept certian truths about the events in the first place.
I.e.
They didn't die in the plane crash
The island is a real place
Everyone dies at sometime
Jack dies at the end of "The End"
I like the idea that the island is the portal from death to the real world and the protection one has of the island is more akin to the Grime Reaper, to escort those lost soles to their final destination.

Or it doesn't.
It doesn't really matter to the overarching story the writer's told last night what happens to Frank, Miles, Sawyer, Kate, Claire and Richard. All that mattered in the context of the the finale was that they took off and Jack saw that plane soaring away.
Now, obviously, having followed most of those characters for six years, of course we want to know what happened to them, but the church scene seems rather telling -- whether the plane eventually crashed and killed them all or they all survived and returned home to grow old together, the fact remains they all eventually did die and those closest to Jack (Kate, Claire and Sawyer) were able to come back and help him 'let go' after he died.
The people in the church were there because they were the people most important to Jack's life. The people who gave his life meaning and those who were there during the most important time in his life -- his time on the island. You'll note his mother, his ex-wife were not there. That's not an assignation of blame or lack of importance. They just weren't a part of Jack's life on the island, and in Jack's life of the island, taking care of all those people was the most important thing to him.
I didn't think it was just "Jack's story" but that all waited until all were there. But since there's no "now," all of them were always there. DS9 non-linear thing?
Ooops for Frank. Not only how is he going to explain where everyone else is--how does he explain the people on his plane? Only Kate was an original passenger (not Sawyer, Miles, Claire, or Richard). So five, not four people.
And Richard has a white hair? So now he's aging at a (hopefully) natural rate? I suppose this particular group was of people were not "his" people for the afterlife--his wife was. But she wasn't tied to this group either.
according to lostpedia timeline - only about a couple of weeks (!)
I was expecting rapid aging too. How did he get a gray hair so quickly?
I thought that too. As for so quickly--dude! The man had over 100yrs of stress.
But I suppose this means he'll grow old, die, and meet back up with his wife, what'shername.
I'd love to hear Kate's explanation of how she ended up in the "Ajira 6" after her previous miraculous survival in the "Oceanic 6."

What did you want to happen to them? Its completely up to you. But, it may be different than what other people think. That's one of the reasons I did really love this episode. Its your choice what happens to these people. Something poetic about that.

Touche (with an accent on the "e").
Okay, so here's a what-if:
Claire will go to Australia and raise Aaron with her mother's support--or maybe in the US with Kate. I don't think her mother would quite understand everything like Kate would.
Kate's was already cleared of charges and living her life. Assuming she still has money, she'll stay in her house, maybe with Claire and Aaron (and maybe Claire's mom). Close friendship with James. Not sure how she's going to explain Claire and James' surviving Oceanic's crash.
James will get to know his daughter (Clementine?), but remain close friends with Kate and Miles.
Miles...not sure what he'd do. He's not a survivor of either flight, and there's no more Widmore or Dharma, right?
Richard...no idea. Stick with the others? Live a life? Take it easy and wait to be with his wife? Kill himself?
Frank is a total hero for having flown the plane back. Lots of money, then preferable obscurity with Richard and/or Miles.
ETA: Since Hurley, per Ben's advice, will get Desmond off the island, what are the chances that any of the others would come back after a while? I mean, Rose and Bernard are there, pretty happily. Any chances that any of the others (Kate or Sawyer in particular) would get tired of regular life and return--very discreetly, of course.
I wounder if the island would let them come back. Katw would have left two times before already and she is no longer needed by the island. Hugo isn't going to bring more people to the island - you wouldn't think - just yet anyway.
Darma can find the island via the lamp post still, but Hawking would have to allow it, and who knows what she thinks about all of this now that Desmond didn't do as she wanted in the sideways.
I think Kate would be a fugitive again unless she started bribing people. Remember that one of the terms of her not being charged with murder was that she couldn't leave the state during her ten-year parole. What she did is parole violation. Sawyer might be a fugitive too if they ever find out he killed that guy in Austraila. The Others found out about that. I don't know how Frank's going to explain things since he came back with virtually no crew. Claire can return quietly to her mother and reconcile and raise Aaron. Though some therapy might help. 
He's not going to kill himself. He told Miles that he finally wanted to live. He did a lot of traveling for the Others so he probably has some connections. Maybe he'll return to the Canary Islands.
Miles...no idea. He did find the diamonds that Nikki and Paolo had though. I say cash them in and live comfortably. I don't think he'll be ripping off people anymore.

^ Ben can set both of them up. Doesn't he owe Miles some money?
I feel bad for Jin and Sun's baby girl. No mom or dad, just grandma and mean grandpa. And a bunch of money that isn't quite the same thing.
Forgot about Richard deciding to live.
And Ben still has access to all the stuff he had access to, while Penny (and Desmond) have her money and her father's.
They all lived happily ever after...
...until each one died...
...then they all moved on together, really happily ever after.

Just because I haven't senn anybody mentioning it and it kind of fits here...
Hurley probably put Desmond on his old sailboat and sent him into the sunset...
It was Desmond's old boat, right?
