About Lions of the Sky (Book):

In the world of fighter pilots, the most alpha of the alpha, competition is everything and the stakes are impossibly high. A Top Gun for the new millennium, LIONS OF THE SKY propels us into a realm in which friendship, loyalty, and skill are tested, battles won and lost in an instant, and lives irrevocably changed in the time it takes to plug in your afterburners.

About Speed and Angels (Movie):

This film follows the true life journey of two passionate Navy fighter pilots, Jay and Meagan, as they chase their childhood dream of becoming naval aviators flying the F-14 Tomcat. Thanks to unprecedented access granted by the Navy, Speed & Angels is not only stunning with epic aerial footage and cockpit photography but also the most intimate portrait ever made about what it's like to become a fighter pilot. After release, Speed & Angels screened at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC and numerous film festivals - winning multiple Best Documentary and Audience Favorite Awards - throughout the USA, Discovery Channel and was Hulu's #1 documentary. The film was also premiered at SkyScape Theater at the EAA Museum during AirVenture with an introduction by Harrison Ford.

Reviews for Lions of the Sky:

"A humdinger of a book...Through vividly drawn characters, Paco takes us inside a Navy fighter squadron showing their incredibly difficult day to day lives, including the obstacles women still face in this tight knit community. This is a terrific window into a world very few people see."

-THE HONORABLE RAY MABUS, 75TH UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

"I was absolutely catapulted into the action! Paco put me right back in the cockpit and the Ready Room. Lions of the Sky is intense, and personal, and thrilling. A must read!"
-LEA GABRIELLE, JOURNALIST AND F/A-18 NAVAL AVIATOR

"An unforgettable story of pride, lust, loss, betrayal and redemption...set in a carrier-based fighter squadron in combat. Timely and gripping, Lions of the Sky is an exciting supersonic techno-thriller with well-written g-spikes of human drama that kept me turning the pages. Strap in and arm your seat!"

-KEVIN MILLER, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE RAVEN ONE TRILOGY
