Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
.

The Vegas in that line was redubbed before the film's release, as the original filmed line was "a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff". Then just before the film was due to be released, Kennedy was shot. Slim Pickens wasn't the original Major Kong either, Peter Sellers had that role, but broke his leg and couldn't get into the B-52 set. The B-52 cockpit was based on a few photos from magazines and was designed by Ken Adam, a former RAF Pilot and the man who did most of the James Bond sets. Rumour has it was it was very close to the real aircraft in a lot of respects. Other people in the B-52, the voice of Scott Tracey from Thunderbirds (Shane Rimmer) who was the Co-pilot, and voice of Darth Vader was one of the Navigators (James Earl Jones).
