If I have an Identity Thief in play, then the next turn I sacrifice a Renegade Map and cast an Airdrop Aeronauts gaining 5 life. If I then attack with the Identity Thief choosing to exile and copy Airdrop Aeronauts, will the gain me another 5 life? And yet another 5 life when it returns to the battlefield at my end step? For a total of 15 life gained.
No. Identity Thief doesn't enter the battlefield again when it becomes a copy of something. To enter the battlefield means to be put onto the battlefield from some other zone, and Identity Thief has been on the battlefield the whole time.
And yet another 5 life when it returns to the battlefield at my end step?
Yes, it sees that a permanent you controlled left the battlefield this turn so it triggers again on entry. (You don't even have to have sacrificed the Map for this one - it would trigger just because Aeronauts itself left the battlefield earlier.)
For a total of 15 life gained.
Just 10 in this case.
