stunt pilot
Loop-the-loop flier
A stunt pilot performs aerial acrobatics and dangerous maneuvers, either for entertainment at air shows or for film and television production.
The work requires exceptional skill and nerve—loops, rolls, dives, and flying in close formation or through obstacles.
The stunt pilot doubled for the lead actor in the dogfight scenes.
