Did you know Chuck Yearger did a cameo in The Right Stuff?

He was the bartender at Pancho's as they guys from NASA were trying to round up fighter jocks for the new space program.

Pancho's would have been a hell of a place to hang out back in tose days. Good steaks, drinks, and a few gals snagging up some of the flyboys.

Absolutely! I remember his one line, "Pssss . . . Hey . . . you want some whiskey?" He looked like a desert bootlegger . . . probably loved every minute of it.
