Narrative:
Was on an IFR clearance from hxd to gai, to return a piper PA23 to my employer at gai. (PA23 had been left at hxd by a renter for a mechanical problem.) it had been a long day already and I was in a hurry to get going back to gai. After obtaining IFR clearance through clearance delivery, and my release, I took off without using CTAF and did not notice another aircraft on final approach in opposite direction. When I did notice it after liftoff, we both veered right to avoid a collision.
