"Pancho Barnes"
AS PLAYED BY:
Ted Wass

Pancho: I’ll tell you a little background on Clark. Clark was a bootlegger. Ran trucks and stuff in San Francisco. I believe it was loads of rum. Frank Clark was a very handsome person. I tell you that he looked kind of like Clark Gable. I mean, he was a very handsome person, and he was a big man. And he was like a cat in the air. He absolutely – he could take a ship out and bring it out for everything it has in the last hour, and they didn’t come apart with him And anybody else it would come apart with. I mean he knew just how far he could go. It was almost – well, it was funny.
And he was one of the very first pilots flying pictures in Jennys. And they were flying Jennys around , they were raising hell. He used to do stunts all the time at shows and things. And he flew a Jenny off the L.A. Railway Building in Los Angeles.
BCnU!
