Sean D. Tucker’s life is marked by a search for excellence and perfected skill.
He has been flying airshows world-wide since the mid-70’s and has won numerous aerobatic competitions.
In that time, Sean has flown more than 1000 performances at more than 425 airshows, in front of more than 80 million fans.

In the upcoming season alone, Tucker and Team Oracle will entertain nearly 10 million fans at 25 shows throughout North America.
The level of professionalism and excitement in Sean’s airshow displays is no coincidence.
He practices his airshow routine three times every day.
Sean has devoted his entire adult life to exploring the art of aerobatic flight and after over 10,000 life-time practices, his passion continues to grow.

He is more inspired by the magic and discipline of flight every single year and he continues to improve his skills as an aviator.
Sean’s airplane, the Oracle Challenger bi-plane, has also continued to improve each year.
Sean started with a factory built Pitts Special 30 years ago and modified it each year.
After reaching the limits of the Pitts, Tucker’s team designed a one of a kind airplane that could do anything that Sean asked of it.
This resulted in the most high-performance aerobatic aircraft in the world, the Challenger II biplane.
It is a fire-breathing monster with over 400 horsepower, weighs just over 1200 pounds and responds to the slightest pressure on the control stick even at 300 mph.
Sean has become so in-tune with his machine that, while performing, the control stick becomes his feathers and the aircraft, his body.
To endure the extreme physical demands of each routine, Sean maintains a rigorous physical training schedule by working-out over 340 days per year in a routine of jogging and weight-lifting on alternating days.
In addition to being a phenomenal aviator, he is also a larger than life character who touches the heart of his fans and inspires millions of Americans.
When asked about flying airshows, Sean responds,
"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 a finely tuned edge!"
Sean is extremely passionate about every aspect of the Team Oracle program.
Expanding on his love of flying, Tucker created the Tutima Academy of Aviation Safety, a world-class flight training institution dedicated to setting and spreading the standard for aviation safety in aerobatics and aviation at large.

The Academy offers a variety of courses including stall/spin recognition and recovery training, aerobatic proficiency training, a low-level aerobatic mentorship program, and formation aerobatic flight training, which can be found no-where else in the world.
