From "About the Film": Speed and Angels is the true life story and feature-length action documentary about two navy officers chasing their dreams to become fighter pilots. The film follows them during the most dangerous parts of their training and as they go to war, where the realities of being a fighter pilot test their limits. The film includes epic aerial footage in stunning HD--including the last ever F-14 Tomcat dogfights--and rare naval archival and wartime footage. Thanks to unprecedented access granted by the navy, Speed and Angels gives an inside look at people's journeys as fighter pilots as it has never before been seen. Based on the original concept of producer F.A.Chierici, Speed and Angels is directed by Peyton Wilson. Meagan, callsign "Slick" She's a typical 24-year-old woman, except when she goes to work, she straps into an F-14 Tomcat. She decided she had "a need for speed" as a 12-year old when she saw Top Gun with her father. "Dad, I want to be Maverick," she told him and never looked back. Despite two pacifist sisters--even a twin in the Peace Corps--she defied all critics and went to the Naval Academy. She both makes history and struggles with the choices only a woman must make in the "man's world" she's chosen.
