I'd previously heard a little bit about Pancho Barnes when reading "The Right Stuff", but here's her whole colorful life, condensed into an hour. Interesting and Entertaining!

seem to remember a movie about Pancho Barnes a while back... Starred Valerie Bertinelli as Pancho Barnes, Valerie is fifty times better lookin than Pancho who was a minus 4 on the scale of 1 to 10...

.......who was a minus 4 on the scale of 1 to 10...

Remember, beauty is only a light switch away......

I watched this on Netflix. Very good! Interviews with Chuck Yeager and Bob Hoover.

It's the next morning that you have to deal with, like a friend said " you know you would do her if she was on the floor begging for it, I replied, Carl,,,, If you were on the floor begging for it I would give it to you. Poncho Barns, Great Documentary

I think it was last year (some sort of anniversary) out at Edwards AFB. My brother was involved in putting it together. They had an actress-pilot portray Poncho.

She flew in in a Stearman and she was to go around insulting everyone, etc. But when she climbed out of the Stearman she ripped the seat out of her pants and she would not get up out of her chair. Poncho would have continued parading around with her undies showing ( if she even had any).

Very good book about Poncho "The Happy Bottom RIding Club" by Lauren Kessler. It's a fun read
