The seal assembly may include a first seal disposed between a first airflow path and a second airflow path. A second seal may be disposed between the first airflow path and the second airflow path. The second seal may be disposed in a series arrangement with the first seal. The second seal may include a seal support extending radially therefrom which mechanically supports the first seal during engine operation.
