Pancho Barnes was one of a kind.  A daredevil who partied hardy from the 20s to the 50s and one of the best pilots of her time, if not the best.  The first woman stunt pilot in Hollywood in 1929, the first woman test pilot for Lockheed and other airplane manufacturers and the owner of the Happy Bottom Riding Club.

"When you have a choice - choose happy!" - Pancho Barnes
