About
Sean Tucker Since beginning his air show career in the mid-70s, Sean Tucker has flown more than 700 performances at more than 300 airshows, in front of more than 60 million fans. In the upcoming season alone, Tucker and Team Oracle will entertain nearly 10 million fans at 25 shows throughout North America. "I like to think that I bring the fans' dreams of flying into the plane with me; and there's nowhere I'd rather be than in the cockpit. That's why I train so hard to keep the edge!" |

Bites Sean has logged over 20,000 hours flying, which if done all at once, would take over two years, 24 hours a day. During media photo flights, Sean will fly within 5 feet of the support plane carrying photographers. Twice during the performance, Sean will fly the aircraft backwards -straight down - tail-first at more than 100 mph. Over half of Sean’s maneuvers are original and have never been duplicated by another aerobatic pilot. The Team Oracle crew is the best in the business. In 12 years of airshow performances, not a single flight has been cancelled due to mechanical reasons. |
