(at around 38 mins) In the film, Carol Danvers visits a bar called Pancho's, where she has flashbacks of her previous life on earth as a test pilot for the Air Force. Pancho's Bar, named after Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club, was a real bar/ranch/hotel, located near Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave desert, in the 1940s. It was once home to many famous test pilots including Chuck Yeager, Bob Hoover, Jack Ridley, James Doolittle and Buzz Aldrin. It was owned by Pancho Barnes, a female aviation pioneer. She was an air-race pilot and Hollywood stunt pilot, and even replaced Amelia Earhart as a record holder for top speed. No doubt, the reference is a double-nod to Pancho Barnes's groundbreaking contributions to women in aviation and to her connection to the Edwards test pilot community.
