In season 5 episode 11 of American Pickers titled When Horses Fly, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on the hunt for hidden treasures throughout America. As they travel across the country in their signature beige van, they have their sights set on Iowa.

Their first stop is at a farm in the small town of Olin, where they hope to find some unique and valuable antiques. They meet with the owner, who takes them to his barn where he has been storing a variety of items for years. The barn is filled with old signs, rusted vehicles, and random knickknacks, but nothing catches the pickers' eyes.

Next, they visit a man named Mike who has a huge collection of vintage bicycles. Mike is a passionate collector and has amassed an impressive array of bicycles from different eras and countries. He shares his knowledge and love for each bike, and Mike and Frank are in awe of his collection. Despite being tempted by a few of the bicycles, they eventually leave empty-handed.

After visiting Mike's bicycle collection, they go to a farm outside of Belle Plaine, Iowa. There they meet with a man named Alvin, who has a collection of unusual-looking horse-drawn wagons and buggies. The pickers are ecstatic as they have never seen such unique items before. Alvin shares the history and significance of each wagon and buggy, and the pickers are thrilled to take a few of them off his hands.

Their next stop is at a property in Parnell, where they meet with a woman who has inherited a collection of antique toys. She shows them various pieces, including a vintage Superman toy, which Mike is ecstatic about. They also find a rare Barbie doll from the 1950s, which is worth a lot of money. They leave the property with a few toys and an awesome new addition to their collection.

On the last leg of their Iowa trip, they visit a man named John in Muscatine. John is a craftsman who creates and repairs stained glass windows. He has been collecting tools and equipment for years, and the pickers are eager to see what he has. John shows them his workshop, which is filled with stained glass pieces and the tools needed to create them. Mike and Frank find some exceptional pieces, including a rare electric clock made of stained glass.

In this episode of American Pickers, the pickers encounter a diverse range of unique and valuable collections. They meet passionate collectors who share their knowledge and excitement for their treasures. Along the way, they also discover some beautiful and rare items that they hope to add to their already impressive collection.
