One of the first flying acts of the day was Sean Tucker and his son Eric Tucker.
Not 'officially' on the show schedule, they were doing a warm up routine early in the day. Here's Sean in his Oracle Challenger II flying through the smoky haze. Yep, I think they used a bit too much smoke!
The Oracle Challenger II is a highly modified Pitts S-2S.
Eric taxis by in the Extra 300.
Here's Sean up in the air again. His performances was delayed due to some mechanical airplane concerns. It was all straightened out though, and we were treated to another amazing display by the legend himself!
Very striking contrast to have the red plane against the mountain background.
Here's Sean going UNDER the ribbon.
And here he is on another pass right about to cut it.
A final slow speed pass before he landed. Exciting show as always!
