Gary Hubler
Gary Hubler was a crop duster and commercial transport pilot with over 17,000 flight hours from Caldwell, Idaho. He was most notable for being Champion of the Formula 1 class of the Reno Air Races from 2002 through 2006.Death
Hubler was killed just after 9:30 a.m. on September 14, 2007 when his modified Tuttle Cassutt IIIM aircraft, Mariah, and another aircraft piloted by Jason Somes collided. The NTSB concluded the probable cause was "the failure of the pilots of both aircraft to maintain an adequate visual lookout and clearance from one another during a low altitude aerial race."
