A pilot successfully performed a stunt in the air that could have soaked him if he had got it wrong.

In the clip, filmed June 20, the pilot his flying his plane over Pacific Ocean, south of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles County, with a glass of water on the dashboard when he performs an impressive aileron roll stunt.

Performed correctly, the water in the glass should not move an inch.

“Inspired by Bob Hoover, who was a famous test pilot with Chuck Yeager and later became an airshow pilot: There's a video of him pouring water into a cup while doing a roll. I'm not there yet!” the filmer wrote online.

Nice day to go flying one day before Solstice over the skies of Southern California, USA! It was warm up at altitude due to an inversion. Good that I had some water to cool me down!
