Yep, Slim (T. J.) did mention the special items, didn't he?
No such inventory would ever have occurred in flight on a real such mission.
Example of writer trying to insert another joke.
BTW, y'all do realize, don't you that most (almost ALL) of the stuff in that
movie was BS from somebody's imagination. For example, pilot never read any
checklist for bombing or its prep and sure as Hell wouldn't have gone into
the bomb bay for ANYTHING - if anybody did, it would have been the navigator
or radar-navigator/bombardier. All of the in flight dialog was very
stilted, imaginary BS - not like the real world at all.

I was paraphrasing from a quote in Dr. Strangelove that Slim Pickens (as
Major T.J. Kong, pilot of the B-52) makes as they are beginning their bomb
run and inventorying their survival kits.
The original line referenced Dallas, TX, but since the movie was released
shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated they changed it to Las
Vegas.

them, but I had very little interest in the details of .38 cal S & W.
Also
had 3 crash axes in the cabin and a .22 cal (long rifle shells) fold-up
survival rife in every seat pack survival kit on the airplane. 'Don't
remember a lot of the details of those, either, but I knew how to use
'em.

We, the citizen, are on our own. [Sorry Andrew, bad news,

Police
