  • The Happy Bottom Riding Club (1935–1953), was a dude ranch, restaurant, and hotel operated by aviator Florence "Pancho" Barnes near Edwards Air Force Base in the Antelope Valley of California's Mojave Desert. Barnes and her club were featured in Tom Wolfe's 1979 book, The Right Stuff, and its 1983 film adaptation. Also known as the Rancho Oro Verde Fly-Inn Dude Ranch, the establishment was a favored hangout of test pilots and the Hollywood elite during the 1940s, boasting over 9,000 members worldwide at the height of its popularity. When the United States Air Force intended to buy the club via eminent domain in order to extend their runways, a long and contentious series of lawsuits ensued. Barnes eventually won the lawsuits, but after the club was destroyed by fire in the 1950s, her plans to re-open in a nearby location never came to fruition. (en)
  • L'Happy Bottom Riding Club était un ranch hôtelier et un restaurant géré par l'aviatrice Pancho Barnes près de la base aérienne Edwards de l'United States Air Force dans la vallée d'Antelope, dans le désert des Mojaves, en Californie. Barnes et le club figurent tous les deux dans le livre de Tom Wolfe L'Étoffe des héros (1979) et son adaptation cinématographique de 1983. Également connu sous le nom de Rancho Oro Verde Fly-Inn Dude Ranch, l'établissement était un lieu de prédilection pour les pilotes d'essai et l'élite hollywoodienne dans les années 1940, comptant plus de 9 000 membres dans le monde entier au sommet de sa popularité. Lorsque la force aérienne américaine a l'intention d'acheter le club afin d'étendre les pistes de la base, une longue et controversée série de poursuites judiciaires suivit. Barnes remporte finalement ces poursuites, mais le club est détruit par un incendie dans les années 1950 et ses plans de le rouvrir dans un endroit voisin ne se sont jamais concrétisés. (fr)
