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."[2]
