Last week, the <\/span>Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum<\/span><\/a> announced plans to construct a new exhibit called \u201cWe All Fly,\u201d to celebrate and honor achievements in general aviation. At EAA AirVenture 2018, famed aerobatic pilot Sean D. Tucker revealed that his Oracle Challenger III custom-built biplane will be featured on display in the gallery\u2019s entrance. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the museum, the new gallery is made possible through a $10 million gift from the Thomas W. Haas Foundation. The exhibit is scheduled to open in 2021 and will highlight sport, private, business, humanitarian, and utility flight. The new gallery intends to give visitors opportunities to engage in interactive educational technology and videos and learn about careers in general aviation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to be inspiring that next generation, who, one day, their artifacts will be hanging in the museum,\u201d said the museum\u2019s director Ellen Stofan in a <\/span>news release<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSean Tucker\u2019s aircraft will no doubt inspire future pilots and aviation professionals through the story of his amazing career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tucker\u2019s Oracle Challenger is an exciting addition to the gallery\u2019s entrance. The biplane features high-performance, advanced aerobatic technology including Hartzell\u2019s three-blade structural composite propeller known as \u201cThe Claw.\u201d In fact, Tucker coined the name for Hartzell\u2019s reliable high-performance aerobatic prop.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more than 40 years, Tucker has dazzled millions of people in flying performances at airshow venues across the country. As the chairman of the EAA Young Eagles program, Tucker is passionate about introducing and inspiring youth in the world of aviation. Tucker announced last year that he will retire from solo aerobatic performances at the end of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have dedicated my entire adult life to the art form of airshow flying,\u201d Tucker said in the museum\u2019s <\/span>release<\/span><\/a>. \u201cMy goal is to thrill, inspire and \u2018light that spark within\u2019 the audience and share the magic of flight. This very special flying machine has empowered me to safely push my boundaries to the wildest edge of edges, come back to Earth and do it all over again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Tucker\u2019s Oracle Challenger, aircraft including a Cessna 180, Gates Lear Jet and a Cirrus SR22 will be on display in the new exhibition. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
