This is one of my top five favorite movies of all time. If you watch carefully, you can see that Slim Pickens actually says “Dallas” instead of “Vegas.” The Kennedy assassination happened after filming, and they re-dubbed the line.

It’s been a personal ambition of mine to reproduce the “Wing Attack Plan R” packets from this scene, as a piece of pure graphic design nerdery.

Also, I doubt the interior of a B-52 actually has quite so much Futura.
