Pretty Sure I Can Fly is a humorous exploration of things that had never been done, until someone did them. It’s a series of weekly conversations about what it takes to break through the barrier of “impossible” and set new standards for human limitation. Pretty Sure I Can Fly is like going to history class, except your teachers are actor, stuntman, and outlaw radio DJ Johnny Knoxville and long-time This American Life contributor Elna Baker. And each week they bring a new guest to tell you all about how they “grabbed the bull by the bunglesteen” or “really hogwrenched that spatooly.”

Barnstorming with pilot Patty Wagstaff
This week we're joined by 3 x National Aerobatic Champion, Patty Wagstaff, whose winning plane now hangs in the Smithsonian. She shares her story and discusses one of our favorite characters from history, aviation pioneer Pancho Barnes. We talk about getting kicked out of Catholic school, the early days of barn-storming, and some of the naughtiness that took place at Pancho's old bar, The Happy Bottom Riding Club.
