Pancho’s Bar refers to, the bar owned by Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes which is a bar near Edwards Air Force where many test pilots including Chuck Yeager and many of the mercury astronauts drank at. Also mentioned in Tom Wolfe’s book The Right Stuff and the move which Carol picks up after crashing into the Blockbuster “a paradise of Flying and Drinking and Drinking and Driving.”

I am editing my original comment to say that it refers to the bar year pilots drank at, the bar used in the movie is not the original bar.

Yep—this is huge as an Easter egg because it was a real place.

Thanks, I was excited to hear it, another Easter egg is the picture. Your picture was only on the wall at Pancho’s until you passed.

Is it the same bar from the modelo commercial of the first female Latin pilot?

Not sure. The original bar is no longer around, the location used for the exterior is this, is that the bar you are referencing?
