Loved the line in the movie: "don't let that commie bastard look at the big board"

Re: Space Shuttle Booster
First time I saw Slim Pickens was as a rodeo clown at the Calgary Stampede when I was about 10. Read this about him on line:
In his last years Pickens lived with his wife in Columbia, Tuolumne County, California. Slim was a civilian pilot with a multi-engine rating and enjoyed flying in a green U.S. Air Force flight suit while wearing a cowboy hat, similar to the wardrobe worn in Dr. Strangelove.
Always enjoyed his stuff.

Slim could ride a horse properly, too.
Was funmy in the submarine in 1942.
