The aerial photogrphy rivals that of Top Gun. The story of Meagan and Jay provide real insight on just what it takes to make it as a fighter pilot. The task of landing a figher onto the deck of an aircraft carrier moving up and down in the middle of the night gives us a brief look at the kind of stress these pilots go through. UH-RAH Navy!!

Speed & Angels is not yet another aviation documentary, it is a successful and unique combination of exciting movie-like cinematography, touching personal stories and dramatic cockpit footage and voice recordings. Although the film does not offer a lot of information on the F-14 or navy pilot training, it does provide the real inside story from the pilots perspective.

For years, Hollywood has fictionally portrayed the military in both positive and negative light, yet we have seen a bit of a void when it comes to first hand accounts of military life. Filmed over a two and a half year period, and released in 2008, Speed and Angels is a refreshing glimpse into the elite world of Navy fighter pilots.
