20. "Speed & Angels", the Documentary (not Movie)

Aviation fans are likely familiar with the movie 'Speed & Angels,' a 2008 documentary that still receives high praise for its fighter aviation scenes and realism. The film follows two upcoming F-14 pilots in training, reveals their life stories and dreams, and continues as they enter the fleet. Our guests are one of the pilots profiled in the film, Meagan Flannigan (who was then Meagan Varley), and the fighter pilot who originated the idea and worked tirelessly to see it to completion, Paco Chierici. This episode is full of revelations about flying the Tomcat, making a movie, and living in front of the camera. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
