In reply top Barnes P-51 crash posted by Steve Hinton on Fri Mar 08, 2002 01:23:27 AM
I left this out earlier: Of course Mr. Barnes was the son of famous female aviator Pancho Barnes... of Edwards AFB and the "Happy Bottom Riding Club" bar from the 1940s and early 50s.. Where all the test pilots hung out like Chuck Yeager. The club sadly burned to the ground in mysterious circumstances in the late 40s or early 50s. A shame because if those walls could talk!!!!!!!!!

Hi Steve!
: It was a P-51 around 1979 or 80 near Mojave California.
