For a complete description of the event read the NTSB Report.

The pilot, Gary Hubler, perished in the crash. His friend, Cris Ferguson commented on the memory of his friend (24 January 2022): Gary was a good friend of mine. I raced with him many times and he was always a great guy. One year he was out in an unlimited (a Seafury as I remember) by mount Fred north of Reno High up and I was in Midnight Oil #26 down about 1000 AGL plus a Sport class somewhere in the middle all of us on Stead tower keeping separation. A long easy had been out further north and the young lady fling it suddenly had engine trouble and called in a MAYDAY and in the midst of all of this, the tower asked us to keep a lookout and to keep clear of the airport. about 3 min past, and I picked up the Long Easy at my altitude at about 2 miles away. I was able to talk her down onto a road safely. Unknown to me Gary was watching the whole thing. Now after getting back to Stead the News media shows up which I dislike so I bailed but the next morning Gary comes charging up to me (he was a big dude) grabs my arm grabs my hand and said to me that he wanted to shake the hand of a true hero. That was Gary but I asked him to stop calling me that and to keep it quiet. In 2007 we talked a bit he told me to get an IF1 and come back over to their side of the hanger we laughed and moved on with the day I won the heat race and was on the truck when the midair happened. I raced one more year and retired. good memories great people.
