"Professional" Piloting of Tucker's Bipe Goes Well Despite
Forced Landing
It's been a tough year for all things 'airshow' so it sure is
nice to report one incident that went rather well. ANN has learned
that Sean D. Tucker's airshow biplane, executed a forced
landing Tuesday when a sudden engine stoppage turned the normally
thrusty bipe (the 'Oracle Challenger III') into an immediate
glider. Flying home at the end of a long and very successful
season, Sean Tucker tells ANN that Ferry Pilot and Team Member
Brian Norris did what he expected, "he flew the aircraft like a
professional, dealt with the situation as it occurred and put
together a great outcome by staying ahead of the airplane."
