Question about aerobatic memoribelia.

[handymanm]

Hey folks. First let me say good afternoon and I sincerly appoligize if I am posting this in the wrong place but history and nostalgia seemed like the place for this question.

I have a hat pin I have had for a few years and I was wondering if someone could date it for me if possible. It is from the Sean D Tucker Aerobatic Team and I think, based on the person I got it from, came from the 70's but im not sure.

Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you...

Someone will know far more than me, but Wiki gives some information which possibly dates that pin much later than the 1970's:

"Sean D. Tucker (born 1952) is an American aerobatic pilot who performs in airshows worldwide for Team Oracle."

"Tucker, a native of Eagle Rock, California, earned his pilot’s certificate at age 17. He has been flying airshows worldwide since the mid-1970s and is considered the world’s premier airshow performer."

First Award? "U.S. National Advanced Aerobatic Champion – 1988"

"In 1997, Tucker started the Sean D. Tucker School of Aerobatic Flight."
