Tom Tutt lived a life shaped by adventure, courage, skill, and friendship.

His journey took him from serving as a smokejumper in Montana to a remarkable career in aviation. He later became a William Tell ‘Top Gun’ Champion in the U.S. Air Force, competing at the highest level of Air Force aerial weapons proficiency.

Tom also had a lifelong love of fly fishing, a passion we shared along with flying. Those experiences became part of a friendship I will always treasure.

In Smokejumper to Top Gun: A Journey Through Time, Tom preserved the stories and experiences of an extraordinary life.

Walker Carter Publishing is proud to help keep that story alive.
