Harland Terrell "Terry" Hibler, 70, a long-time FlightSafety International executive and former corporate pilot, died on May 3 after suffering from the effects of a stroke. 

Hibler spent 28 years with FlightSafety, serving as its director of worldwide airline marketing in the company’s Teterboro, New Jersey office. He became deeply involved in the regional airline market, including serving on the Associate Member Council of the Regional Airline Association, as well as long-time chairman of the Associate Member Council for the Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA). A Facebook posting credited Hibler for “helping to build RACCA to what it is today.” Through his work with numerous carriers, Hibler helped with the transition from piston and turboprop commuters into the regional jet era.

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Hibler served as a C130 loadmaster in Vietnam. He further was a corporate pilot during most of his career and held 16 type ratings.

He is survived by his wife Karen, daughter Amy, and son-in-law Justin.
