Robert Redford performed his own stunts, including climbing onto the wings of a plane without safety gear,
for The Great Waldo Pepper (1975), as director George Roy Hill insisted the actors experience real flying conditions, no parachutes or security harnesses were used for such scenes. The film's impressive aerial sequences also featured real vintage aircraft and expert stunt pilots.
