dogfighter

Close-range aerial combatant

A dogfighter is someone who engages in dogfighting—either aerial combat between fighter pilots or the illegal blood sport of setting dogs against each other.

Military use celebrates skill and bravery: He was one of the best dogfighters in the squadron.

The animal-fighting sense carries strong criminal connotations, as organized dogfighting is a felony in most jurisdictions.
