More about Sean Tucker
Having accumulated more than 20,000 flight hours, he has flown more than 1000 performances in more than 425 air shows.
In 2003, Sean was named as one of the twenty-five "Living Legends of Flight" by the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum - an honor shared with aviation legends such as John Glen, Neil Armstrong and Chuck Yeager.
Sean is the world's only pilot to perform a triple ribbon cut. He flies through the ribbons at 220 mph in right knife-edge for the first ribbon, then left knife-edge and finally inverted. The ribbons are only 25 feet off the ground and 750 feet between each set.
Sean's performance, known as "Sky Dance," imposes more G-forces in his body than jet fighter pilots experience +10 to minus 8 G's!
