Who wants to fly deep into enemy territory and be shot at by Triple-A fire, anti-aircraft missiles, and enemy fighters to “Save the Baby Ducks?” Inspired by real combat operations during Desert Storm, this is the mythical story of Lieutenant Bill Johnson and his fight through one of the toughest military schools in the world — Air Force Pilot Training. The students are told “Airspeed is Life,” but what does that mean? To graduate, the Class of 86-08 will have to survive the tricks and the teachings of “Wardog” and the ruthlessness of the “SLIFF.” The crazy underdog students learn the hard way at Williams AFB where the motto is: “Death is a small price to pay for looking cool” and 30-percent will be grounded, washed out or killed. Why would anyone do this? How do you live “happily ever after” if the girl of your dreams thinks your chosen profession is her worst nightmare? This is where our nation finds the volunteers who risk their lives to shut down Saddam Hussein’s disgusting oil slick, ending one of the biggest acts of environmental terrorism in history. Before its over, you’ll be dying to ride the White Rocket and find out for yourself if it’s true: “Airspeed is life.”
