This is my vote for 'The Most Interesting Man In The World'. His name is Sean D. Tucker, a 58 year old stunt pilot who has been flying for Team Oracle for the last ten years.
I had the privilege of meeting him and going up in the air to document, what he so vividly paints as 'Sky Dancing'. An extremely dangerous art form that is breathe taking to watch.
He was enamored with flying as a child so he learned to fly but in the process realized he was terrified of stalling the plane or panicking at the controls or even spinning out of control so he took an aerobatic flight course to conquer his fear. As you will see, he fell in love.
He tells us this: "Everyday I push the envelope so I an be a better pilot and a better performer but there's a fine line you walk to make sure you do it safely".
On his downtime he skydives, scuba dives and extreme snow skis.
