 Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club” is a documentary by 
 writer-producer Nick Spark and director Amanda Pope.  Florence “Pancho” 
 Barnes, immortalized in Tom Wolfe’s “The Right Stuff,” was one of the 
 most important women in 20th century aviation.  She was a record-setting 
 pilot, and performed as a barnstormer throughout California, eventually 
 becoming Hollywood’s first female stunt pilot in the 1920’s and 
 1930’s.  In the 1940’s, Pancho opened the “Happy Bottom Riding 
 Club,” a ranch next to Edwards Air Force Base that became a famous 
 hangout for test pilots and movie stars, and was the epicenter of the 
 aviation world during the beginning of the jet age.  Chuck Yeager 
 celebrated breaking the sound barrier there in 1947, and Howard Hughes and 
 Jimmy Doolittle were frequent bar guests.  Little has been known about the 
 charismatic and colorful Barnes, until now.\n\nMovie Night at SFO is 
 sponsored by SFO and the San Francisco Airport Museums.\n\nAbout SFO\nSFO 
 (www.flysfo.com) provides nonstop service to more than 65 US cities on 21 
 domestic airlines and to 32 international points on 27 international 
 carriers.  SFO offers twice as many non-stop flights to the New York area

 Airport of Choice. SFO was voted “North America’s Best Airport” in

 \n\nThe library and museum is dedicated to commercial aviation and San 
 Francisco International Airport's role as the "Gateway to the Pacific" is 
 in place in the new International Terminal. These collections are 
 permanently housed in an 11,500 square foot facility modeled on the 
 Passenger Waiting Room of the 1937 San Francisco Airport Administration 
 Building. Its mission is to increase public awareness of the important 
 achievements in air transport by preserving, interpreting, and sharing the 
 history of commercial aviation. The San Francisco Airport Commission has 
 expressed its belief that, "in order to prepare for the future, we must 
 preserve the past."\n\n
