stunt pilots

Daredevil flight performers

Stunt pilots are aviators who perform acrobatic maneuvers—loops, rolls, dives, and other dramatic feats—for entertainment or film production.

The term covers both airshow performers and those who fly dangerous sequences for movies: The stunt pilots rehearsed the dogfight scene for weeks.

Also called aerobatic pilots.
