NEW AND NOTEWORTHY If you’re planning a new offering for the upcoming airshow season, the ICAS Convention is an ideal place to make a big splash. While there seemed to be overall fewer brand new offerings than in some past years, here are some we took note of: Sean D. and Johnny D. Airshow legend Sean D. Tucker has retired his solo aerobatic performance that has thrilled airshow crowds for over 42 years (see Airshow News in this issue). But Sean isn’t retiring, and he will be teaming up with 27-year-old Johnny DeGennaro to offer a two-ship formation act to airshows in 2019. “My goal is to have a four or five ship, but we’re starting with a two-ship, and I’m having an absolutely wonderful time learning how to be an excellent lead,” Sean told us at ICAS. “We’re looking for sponsorship and can grow the team once we’re successful with that.” “I grew up watching Sean fly, so it’s quite surreal to be flying on his wing,” admits DeGennaro. “I’ve been watching him fly since I was about four-years-old, and that’s sort of what got me into aerobatics.” For now, Sean will fly lead in his famous Oracle Challenger www.airshowmag.com 32 January/February 2019
