TUTIMA
Overview
Founded in 1997 by airshow pilot Sean D. Tucker, the “School of Aerobatic Flight” began as a one instructor, one airplane outfit based in Salinas, California. With students traveling from all corners of the globe the SAF quickly developed a reputation as “the” place to learn aerobatics.
Having relocated operations 50 miles southeast to King City in 2001, the SAF was re-branded the Tutima Academy in early 2006. This unique partnership was formed with Tutima to better fulfill our goal of becoming the pinnacle of aerobatic, formation and safety training.
