Pilot

A pilot is a person who operates a vehicle, usually an aerial vehicle. Pilots were often referred to by the type of vehicle they controlled, such as Dropship pilot, Fighter pilot or Shuttle pilot. A pilot of a starship is usually referred to as the helmsman or flight controller.

Thirty-six fighter pilots and six dropship pilots were assigned to the USS during the Dominion War. They were assigned to the 260th Fighter Wing and 83rd Marine Company respectively.

During a holodeck simulation several members of the Swiftfire took the roles of early 21st century fighter pilots.

Due to losses suffered in the Dominion War the 260th Fighter Wing found itself with too many pilots but not enough attack fighters.

The dropship pilot assigned to USS Remington was Franklin Crow.
