Sean Tucker wowing us in his Oracle Challenger stunt plane.
Sean was so gracious with the kids and made sure we got whatever pictures we wanted . When I would be trying to rush the kids or hurry them along, he kept saying, "It's o.k., we've got plenty of time."
We, along with other families in the Oracle chalet, were asked if we would like to be taken over to the hangers to see the Challenger up close. We hopped into a couple of golf carts and were whisked off across the base. I didn't know it at the time, but later found out it was Sean Tucker's daughter driving my cart. She was so sweet and said she had grown up around airplanes. I said, "Oh, were you a military kid?" She smiled and said, "Well, no. Sean's my dad." Cool!
Sean Tucker was just inducted into the National Aviation's Hall of Fame this year. He is an incredible pilot and a really nice guy!

Hi!
L made me laugh so hard when she told the story of your air show excitement. She said that you all took a picture with your thumbs up at the plane...she had no idea why, but it was FUN!
Being a good GS leader, I told her:) The whole experience sounds like it was fantastic!
